Virginia conwell, 94, gently left this life on October 27, 2014. She was predeceased by her husband Joseph, with whom she shared 69 years of devoted marriage.

Virginia never wanted to sit in life's front row. Like her parents John and Veronica Bentley and sister Martha Woodhead she quietly worked harder than she needed to, and gave more than ever asked to for the support and happiness of her husband, children and longtime friends.

Virginia leaves four children: Patricia and James Dincecco of Marblehead; Carol and her husband William Hill of North Carolina; Jeanne O'Hara and husband Mark
of South Carolina; and Kevin and wife Karen Conwell of Marblehead.
Also surviving her are seven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren: Mark Dincecco and daughter Emma of Vermont; Beth and Eric Aubin and their children Bailey Robbins and Alex Aubin of Vermont; Kristie and husband Daniel Mcbride and their children Kiera Hughey and Danny,Liam and Brennan Mcbride of North Carolina; Matthew Armstrong and son Brennan of Chatham; Jamie Armstrong and wife Krista of Quincy; Shauna and husband Matthew Drodz of Connecticut; and Katherine Conwell of Florida.

At Virginia' s request there was no wake, and she was buried beside Joe at waterside cemetery. A memorial mass will be held at a later date. In her memory do a kindness for the next person you meet, and consider a donation to All Care Hospice, 210 Market Street, Lynn, MA 01901 in recognition of the gentle women who helped in the last seven months of her life. Arrangements were under the direction of the Murphy Funeral Home, 85 Federal St., Salem. For additional information or on line guest book please call 978 744 0497 or visit www.MurphyFuneralHome.com.
