Ella Sharron Obituary
Ella Gloria was born on November 11, 1926, the daughter of the late Clifton and Exillia (Perreault) Parker. She was a communicant of Holy Rosary Church and served as a Girl Scout Leader for many years, guiding young girls towards a path of courage and resilience, much like herself. She served with the Gardner Civil Air Patrol Cadets during World War II, her resilient spirit shining through even in times of adversity. She was a member of the Ladies of St. Anne of Holy Rosary Parish and a past member of Captain John Joslin, Jr. Chapter NSDAR, where she held the position of past Curator. Ella Gloria was also active in planning high school reunions, creating and rekindling bonds among old friends. She owned and operated Sharron's Fruit Farm with her husband Guy, pouring her dedication and hard work into the fruitful enterprise.
A verse from the Holy Scripture that captures Ella Gloria's spirit is 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." This verse is a testament to her strength, her dedication, and her unfaltering faith. Her generous nature and resilient spirit will be remembered by all who knew her.
Ella leaves her four children, Kathleen Alves, Christine Erwin and her husband Frank, Maureen Sandos and her husband Robert, Guy Sharron and his wife Linda, Geraldine Temple and her husband Ed; ten grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.
The Funeral Mass for Ella Gloria will be held on Friday, May 31, 2024, at 11:00 am in the Holy Rosary Church, 135 Nichols Street, Gardner, MA. It is an opportunity for all to pay their respects to a woman who touched so many lives with her loyalty and generosity. Burial will follow in St. John's Cemetery, Gardner. There are no calling hours.
