With heavy hearts but happy memories we announce that Ileen Eleanor (Gosick) Neuman has gone on to heaven to join her husband, Bill, of 53 years of marriage on Friday, October 7 after succumbing to Alzheimer’s.
She was born to Stanley and Leona Gosick on March 27,1926, in Melville, Saskatchewan and was the last survivor of their nine children. Along with her brother Ben and her future husband Bill she moved to Ontario after World War II and married Bill on April 9, 1949.
She is mother to Murray (Carolyn) and Sharon Melnychuk (Peter). Grandmother to Garrett (Melissa), Geoffrey (Charity), Genna (Chris) and Joshua (Krystle) and great-grandmother to Grant, Hayden, Stella Rose, Micah, Austin, Blake and Graeson.
She lived in Oshawa until Bill retired, then moved to Campbellford where she camped under the big oak tree and finally bought a home and hobby farm where she entertained her family and friends who enjoyed the water activities on the Trent River. She always admired and doted on her grandchildren, often claiming to have raised them single-handedly.
Sometime after Bill’s passing she moved to Marion Place seniors’ apartments and most recently resided at Glen Hill Strathaven nursing home in Bowmanville.
The family would like to express their gratitude to all who provided care for her there. She will be missed.

Visitation will be held at Morris on Friday, October 14th with viewing beginning at 10 a.m. service will begin at 11 a.m., followed by a reception.
