LEOMINSTER - Mrs. Sharon Ann (Cadiero) Quebec, age 53, beloved wife, mother, daughter, nana, sister, and cherished friend to many died unexpectedly on August 20, 2018, at U-Mass Medical Center in Worcester from an aneurism that occurred on August 14th. She passed peacefully in the presence of her loving husband and best friend of 13 years, Mark R. Quebec, with whom she had celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary this past March 3rd.
She was born in Winchester, MA on January 2, 1965 and raised in Tewksbury, MA by her mother Theresa (Gagnon, Cadiero) English and father, the late Emmanuel James Cadiero and her step-father, the late Charles A. English.
Sharon was a fiercely independent and strong woman who always knew what she wanted and how to get things done. Sharon committed herself to her family and her work. She was a true hostess in every sense of the word and made everyone feel comfortable and happy. She loved to party equally with family, friends and coworkers. Sharon loved the outdoors, taking early morning walks, weekend hikes and enjoyed road trips with her husband Mark on both their motorcycle and in their car. She enjoyed travel, weekend events and camp with her best friend since childhood, Julie (Caswell) Gath and her husband David Jr. of Tewksbury. Sharon’s selfless, giving nature and joyous smile will always be remembered. She cherished her role as a wife, mother, daughter, friend, and loved her newest role as nana to grand-daughters Aubree and Sadie.
Sharon always pursued her life and work with joy and commitment and she was never afraid of a challenge, as exemplified when she was the first female to enter and graduate from the welding program at Shawsheen Valley Technical High School in 1983. She was a creative and passionate person who enjoyed working with people as displayed in her career as a human resource specialist. Most recently, she was Personnel Manager at Linguamatics in Marlborough and previously for 9 years as the Office and Human Resources Manager at Stratasys, Inc. (formally Objet Inc.) in Billierica, MA.
In addition to Sharon’s husband and parents, she leaves a daughter Alicia (Fitzpatrick) Goguen and her husband Jason Goguen and their children, Aubree and Sadie, all of Merrimack, NH; step daughters, Kayla Quebec of No. Reading, MA. and Alaina Quebec of Winchendon, MA.

Also, her brother Stephen Cadiero and his wife, Leonor, of San Diego, CA., her step-brothers, Lou English and his wife Linda of Farmington, NH and Ed English and his wife Rosemary of Sun City Center, FL. Sharon is also survived by her many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins who will all remember her fondly as the family connector for the annual Christmas Party and as the shining personality that was her. Her light will be missed.
She is predeceased by her brother, Thomas J. Cadiero and step-sister, Mary Etta Theriault, and step-brother Charles E. English.
