LOWELL -- Vaughn K. (O'Neill) Roussell, 58, of Lowell, and formerly of Chelmsford, died suddenly on December 4, 2013. Vaughn was a loving, caring person with people and pets. She was the beloved daughter of the late Helen O'Neill and the late Eugene O'Neill.

Vaughn was the dear sister of Brian O'Neill of Westford, MA, and Eugene F. O'Neill, Jr. of Kennebunkport, ME. She is survived by her fiancé, Brian Riley of Lowell; and her six nieces: Jacqueline O'Neill Sparling, Elizabeth (O'Neill) Hassler, Kelleigh O'Neill, Tricia O'Neill, Becky O'Neill, Molly Aulson; and by many living cousins.

Vaughn attended Chelmsford High School and Cape Cod Community College where she became a licensed practical nurse. Later in her career, she became one of the first women in Massachusetts to work heavy construction, including highway construction.
