Naomi M. (Sweeney) Hurley, age 95, a 50-year resident of Winchester, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2026. She was the beloved wife for 53 years to Matthew J. Hurley, Jr., until his death in 2007.
Born in County Kerry, Ireland, Naomi was the daughter of John and Mary (Sullivan) Sweeney.

As one of eleven children, an active household was her life, and she and Matt continued that family tradition by welcoming five children. As a homemaker, her life revolved around her family.
