She leaves her daughter Danielle M.

She was predeceased by five brothers; Richard, Donald, Raymond, James & Kenneth Gingras.

Sharon was born in Worcester, daughter of Catherine E. (Hannigar) Gingras. She was an avid gardener, a wonderful cook, and a talented craft person who created beautiful items. She loved her kitties Dickens and Little Baby. Most important to her was spending time with her family, playing games, which she always won, and laughing. Every Saturday was spent yard saleing and then lunch with her daughter. She was our family's anchor, always there for everyone, with advice or help, whenever it was needed.

Funeral services and burial are private and at the convenience of the family. There are no calling hours. MORIN FUNERAL HOME, 1131 Main Street, Leicester is directing funeral arrangements.
