Above all, she cherished her family and the memories she made with them.

She is survived by her children, Michael Sweeny of Greenville and Matthew Sweeny (Andrea) of Newark; siblings, Kathy Littell (Larry) and Anthony DeRocili (Brenda), both of Dover; grandchildren, Emily, Jake, Aiden, and Mikayla; niece, Stephanie DeRocili; and great-niece, Sanai DeRocili.
