Charlotte Anne "Sherry" Parsons, age 60, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2026, surrounded by loved ones, after a courageous battle with cancer. Sherry passed at the Lionel Kelland Hospice in Grand Falls-Windsor, a place that cared for her with compassion and dignity in her final days.

Sherry was predeceased by her mother Charlotte and her father Joe Williams.

She leaves to mourn with broken hearts, but deep gratitude for her life, her loving husband Alpheause "Alley" Parsons; her sons Alexander (Christine) of Gander and Andrew of Gambo; her daughter Ashlee (Richard) of Gambo; her stepson Correy (Donna) of Gambo; and her stepdaughter Kimberly (Chris) of Lloydminster, Alberta.
She is also lovingly remembered by her sister Shelly; brothers Roddy, Danny, and Joey; her eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her endless joy.

Sherry was the best Nannie, and nothing made her happier than the laughter and smiles of children. Her life was defined by service to others. She devoted countless hours to volunteer work with the Lions Club, Fun N Sun, and many other community initiatives and committees. Her heart was always focused on helping children thrive.

An entrepreneur at heart, Sherry ran a home preschool program for many years, where she nurtured, taught, and cared for countless children—treating each one as if they were her own. Her impact will live on through the many lives she touched with her kindness, patience, and love.

Sherry will be remembered for her generosity, her tireless dedication to her community, her infectious smile, and the warmth she brought to everyone who knew her. She had a special gift for turning ordinary moments into celebrations, always making even the smallest occasions feel like something special. She leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and family that will never be forgotten.

A funeral service will be held at the Gambo Salvation Army Church on Sunday, January 25, at 2:30 p.m., with a luncheon to follow. All are welcome.

As per Sherry's wishes, the family intends to hold a celebration of life later in the year at the Gambo Lions Club.
