Neil Nulty Obituary
Shelburne, VT - Neil Joseph Nulty, 60, of Shelburne, Vermont, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on June 24, 2024. Neil was a beloved father, stepfather, husband, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Neil was born in 1964 in Flushing, New York to a large family. He graduated from Holy Cross High School in Flushing before pursuing higher education at SUNY New Paltz. Thereafter, he attended Vermont School of Law where he established a strong foundation to support his lifelong commitment to aiding veterans. Neil was a devoted public servant, having worked for the Veterans Administration for almost 30 years.
Neil was a devout Catholic and attended St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Shelburne, Vermont. He honored his New York roots by remaining an avid Jets, Mets, and Knicks fan. Neil did not only watch sports, but he was also an enthusiastic, active, and competitive(!) sportsman, who loved tennis, basketball, and hiking. His greatest joy, however, was spending time with his family by engaging in activities that fostered close bonds and cherished memories. His voice impressions were renowned. Overall, Neil will be best remembered for his gentle and kind nature which he shared with family, friends, and strangers alike.
Neil is survived by his loving wife, Lesley Minehan; his children, Julia, Christopher, and Jonathan; and his stepchildren, Erin and Ben. He leaves behind his beloved sister, Loretta Nulty Spaulding, and her husband, Jack Spaulding; brother-in-law, Don Schaber; and sister-in-law, Barbara Nulty. Neil was also a devoted uncle to many nieces and nephews. Neil was preceded in death by his parents, James and Mary (Young) Nulty; his brother, Brian Nulty; and his sister, Claire Nulty Schaber
