We were saddened to hear of the passing of Sharon Durocher-Fleming, of Chapeau. She was the beloved wife of Herbert Fleming. Sharon was born and raised in Waltham. She was a woman of remarkable strength, dedication and heart. The love of her life was her husband Herbie, her children and grandchildren. Sharon had worked at Conroy’s Grocery for 41 years and they become her second family. She had a wonderful smile and always put everyone first. She will be sorrowfully missed by all who have known and loved her. Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this difficult time. May you RIP dear Sharon.
