                    <text>Joan Mendelsohn Obituary
WORTHINGTON - Joan K Mendelsohn, 91, of Worthington. Sculptor, reader, cook, scrabble
player and proliﬁc emailer to her children and grandchildren.
Although born into the Kaufmann Department Store Family of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and
raised a debutante in the 1930's, she developed her independent thinking at the Dana Hall
boarding school in Wellesley. She served as a nurse's aide in World War II. Studied art at
the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Art Students League in New York city and completed a
Bachelor's Degree in Art Therapy at the University of Massachusetts in 1978. Transitioned
from New York City to the Town of Worthington in the 1970's, where she taught art classes,
developed her creative style and made many friends in the community. She loved to
entertain and took special care to set a ﬁne formal table with creative center pieces and
delicious meals. She presided over many happy convivial gatherings with friends and
guests from diverse backgrounds and generations. This made for the lively wide-ranging
discussions she relished. Kept her wits about her to the end, but her body just gave out.
She passed Sept. 26, 2015, at home with family caring for her and great assistance from
the angels at Hospice.
Joan is survived by her sister, Judy Robinson Strong of Palm Beach, Florida; her three
children, James of Scarborough, New York, David of Weston, and Anne of Nantucket;
grandsons, James Oliver, Taylor Oliver, and David Maxwell; and step granddaughter, Erica
Skinner of Castro Valley, California.
A giver to the end, Joan donated her body to Tufts Medical School for the next generation of
doctors to learn from.
In lieu of ﬂowers, she urges you to support the Northampton Survival Center, the Hospice
Program at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, or a community service non-proﬁt of your choice.
A memorial service will be held November 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Worthington Historical
Society. All are welcome.

                    <text>Robert Eugene Bartlett of Worthington, MA passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side
on October 6th, 2022, at the age of 86.
Robert was born in Northampton, MA on August 8, 1936, to the late Sarah (Lane) and Robert T.
Bartlett. He was raised in Chesterﬁeld and Worthington and graduated from Huntington High
School.
He served in the United States Air Force as a weapons mechanic and armorer in the 131st Tactile
Fighter Squadron, loading ammunition and packing parachutes for the aircrafts.
He was deployed overseas to France, Germany and Africa. He then went on to serve in the National
Guard for 5 1/2 years.
As he entered back into civilian life, he was truly a jack of all trades. He worked for Sears Roebuck
and Co. installing and remodeling kitchens and bathrooms. He worked for Texon Corp. in South
Hadley and Russell, did some truck driving and ran a video store out of his home for many years.
He ultimately found his true calling and became a self-employed general contractor and amazing
craftsman, building, remodeling and restoring many beautiful homes. "Prunebread", as he was
called by many in town, and "Bobby Gene" to many of his family, had many hobbies and pastimes.
He loved driving around town scouting for deer,
hunting, ﬁshing, dancing to country music and ballroom dancing, listening to country music,
producing maple syrup in his backyard sugar shack, gardening, building keepsake furniture and
cabinetry, snowmobiling, racing cars when he was young, watching his grandson ride motocross
and going to races at Monadnock Speedway. Most of all he was an avid Nascar fan, and it was hard
to get him out of the house if there was a race on. He loved vacationing with his family and took
many trips driving down south or across country, visiting relatives all along the way. He once was
mistaken for Don Knotts in a restaurant down south and was given a free meal! His most cherished
vacation though was packing up his family in the big red suburban every summer and heading to
the hunting camp in Vermont that he helped to build as a young man.
He certainly loved " jawing" and would talk to everyone he crossed paths with. If you saw him
around town, he would talk your ear off for as long as he possibly could!
Robert is survived by his wife Diane (Brisson). His children Brenda (Bill) Arnold, Carol Bartlett, Jeff
(Lisa) Bartlett, Ellen (Raymond) Laroche.
Grandchildren Bethany, Christopher, Michelle, Aimee, Jacob, Sarah, Nicholas and Emily and 9 great
grandchildren.
Siblings Richard (Anne) Bartlett and Bonnie (Tom Hinton) Borst as well as many nieces, nephews
and cousins.
The family would like to send their heartfelt thanks to all the staff and caregivers of Care One
Facility and Cooley Dickinson VNA &amp; Hospice for their exceptional care and support.
Contributions in Robert's memory can be made to Cooley Dickinson VNA &amp; Hospice or The
Alzheimer's Association.
A celebration of Robert's life will be on October 22nd at 1:00pm at the Chesterﬁeld Four Seasons
Club in Chesterﬁeld, MA.

                    <text>Robert “Bob” W. Perkins 1946-2022
WORTHINGTON, MA - Robert Wilson Perkins, 76, passed away on Friday, December 30,
2022, after a long battle with spinocerebellar ataxia and dementia.
One of ten children, he was born in Worcester, MA on August 10, 1946, and raised in Barre,
MA.
He graduated from Barre High School and continued his education at the University of
Massachusetts, where he earned his Bachelor's degree in art. He was an artist whose paintings of
nature and wildlife were exhibited in the U.S., France, and Canada.
He worked in advertising in New York City before returning to Massachusetts to teach art and
film animation at Granby High School.
He was fascinated by early American architecture and, while pursuing his artwork, he restored
several historic houses. He built his own seventeenth-century reproduction of a saltbox house
where he lived with his wife Catherine and their beloved dogs for forty-six years.
He loved to read and play the guitar. He was passionate about cycling, which took him and his
wife on many adventures on the roads of New England, the Rocky Mountains, and Canada. He
was also an avid cross-country skier.
He leaves his loving wife of fifty-three years, Catherine (Begue) Perkins; four sisters: Lee
Perkins of Sandy Spring, MD., Elizabeth Carpenter Perkins of Talmage, CA. (Tom Liberatore),
Eleanor Tillinghast Perkins (Walter Podbelski) of Middletown, CT., and Julia Perkins (Brian
Fay) of Middletown, CT; three brothers: Stephen Whitney Perkins of South Deerfield, MA.,
Ralph Whitney Perkins (Joan Ebbeson) of New London, N.H., and Michael Perkins of Barre,
MA., as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Bob was predeceased his parents, Robert Cowan Perkins and Jean Whitney Perkins of Barre,
MA.; and two sisters: Carol Georgopoulos of Albuquerque, N.M. and Harriet Ann "Annie" Raitt
of Carnation, Washington.

                    <text>William Carter Obituary
Our community and family lost a gentle, loving, and generous soul, when Mr. William Joseph
Carter, Jr passed away unexpectedly on Monday, August 16, 2021, at the age of 81. He was born
in Pittsfield, MA, on April 29, 1940, the son of the late William J. Carter Sr. and Rita Thompson
Carter. He graduated in 1967 from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with his Bachelor's
degree in electrical engineering, as part of the GE apprentice program.
Bill was employed by General Electric for 43 years, where he designed large power
transformers. Before retirement in 2005, he was the manager of maintenance and security. He
was a lifetime member of IEEE.
Bill was dedicated to his family and lived a life of service to family, friends, church, community,
and work. He was an active member of St. Stephen's Parish, as usher, property committee, and
coordinator of Habitat for Humanity. For several years he was on the board of directors and was
president for the Maples senior housing in Worthington. He was always willing to help his
daughters and friends with projects, especially repairs or woodworking.
Bill had a passion for steam trains, HO model railroading, photography, home renovations, and
community. He was one of the original members since 1956 of the Berkshire Model Railroad
Society and a member for 65 years. Since 1965, Bill was also a member of the Amherst Railway
Society for 56 years, where he volunteered for many years at the Amherst Railway Society
Railroad Hobby Show at the Big E. A lifelong love of steam trains. led him to many train trips.
For his 60th birthday he was thrilled to have the opportunity to briefly drive a real steam engine
in Essex, CT.. Retirement allowed him to take a trip across Canada and then back to the US by
trains with his wife, Teddy.
Bill was an enthusiastic photographer and passed that passion to his daughters. As the one behind
the lens, our photos of him are somewhat limited, and we would love to receive stories and
photographs with remembrances.
Another love that he and Teddy shared with the girls was for animals; he took care of the horses
on the property and was loved by all the cats and dogs. His family and friends will miss him
greatly. While he will be remembered for many things his smile is one of things that many
people recall.
Bill is survived by his beloved wife, Theodora "Teddy" (Stevens), of 51 years, whom he married
on October 4, 1970. His joys were his daughters Sally L. Carter, of Nashua, NH and Jill M.
Carter of Hudson, MA. Bill's siblings are Betty Carter Harrison of Delmar, NY; Nancy Carter
Olson (Carl) of Pittsfield, MA; Phillip Carter (Yan Li) of Gilmanton, NH; David Carter (Ann) of
Pittsfield, MA; as well as many nieces, nephews, and their families.

                    <text>Ken Pease obituary, 2013&#13;
WORTHINGTON, MA – Kenneth B. Pease, Jr. (1927-2013) passed away peacefully on June 20, 2013&#13;
with his loving family by his side. Ken was born on April 7, 1927 the son of the late Kenneth and&#13;
Ethel (Zarr) Pease.&#13;
He grew up and spent most of his life in Worthington. He attended Huntington High School and&#13;
Smith Vocational before joining the Army during World War II. He served with the occupational&#13;
forces in Germany. He retired from the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority in 1989 after 31 years of&#13;
employment.&#13;
Ken was active in his church and community. He served one term as a selectman and thirty years&#13;
as an Almoner for the Whiting Street Fund. He was a member of the Congregational Church, a&#13;
lifetime member of both the Worthington Rod and Gun Club and VFW Post 6645 of Russell. He was&#13;
a ﬁfty year member of the Huntington Federal Masonic Hall Lodge.&#13;
During his rich life he enjoyed hunting, ﬁshing, camping in southern Vermont, and traveling with his&#13;
wife. He always claimed superiority in his daily games of cribbage but when pressed would have to&#13;
acknowledge that it was his wife and not him who could brag about having a “29” hand. Above all he&#13;
received pleasure in the company of family and friends. In recent years his life was enriched and&#13;
probably prolonged by the love and antics of his great-grandchildren.&#13;
Ken leaves his devoted wife of 66 years, Barbara Palmer Pease; a son, Gary and his wife Nan of&#13;
Westﬁeld; daughter, Gail Lucey and her husband Michael of Easthampton and daughter, Marcia&#13;
Estelle and her husband Stephen of Worthington. He has three surviving brothers, Richard Pease&#13;
and his wife Patricia of Tucson, AZ, Howard Pease and his wife Pamela of Westﬁeld, Robert Pease&#13;
and his wife Bonita of Russell. He has two surviving sisters, Nancy Wickland and husband Glen of&#13;
Dalton and Mary McCready and her husband Peter of Huntington as well as a brother-in-law Donald&#13;
Watson of Holyoke. He was predeceased by his brother, James Pease; his sister-in-law, Carol and&#13;
sister, Nettie Watson.&#13;
He leaves seven proud and admiring grandchildren, Mark Pease and his wife Marisa of&#13;
Longmeadow, Rebecca Pease of Westﬁeld, Kristen Pease of San Diego, CA, Stephen Estelle and his&#13;
wife Kristen of Goshen, MA, Erin Borsari and her husband Joshua of Plymouth, David Lucey and his&#13;
wife Carolina of Watertown and Thomas Lucey and his wife Kate of Chicago, IL. He has seven greatgrandchildren, Nicole, Mia, Michael, Ross, Rosemarie, Stephen and Arami. Admiration and love for&#13;
Uncle Kenny extends to nieces, nephews and beyond.&#13;

                    <text>Cornelius Sharron Obituary
Cornelius (Conny) Francis Sharron passed away peacefully at home under the loving care of his
wife and eight daughters on August 20, 2021. He was 92 years old. Born in Gardner,
Massachusetts in 1929, he was the son of the late Frederick J. Sharron and Margaret (Gallagher)
Sharron Bouchard. Conny was predeceased by his brothers Frederick, Charles, and Mark.
Conny attended Sacred Heart School in Gardner, MA and graduated from Gardner High School
in 1946. He was a graduate of Fitchburg State College, class of 1950, and received his master's
degree in Education there in 1955. He continued his education by also attending Holy Cross,
Boston University, and the University of Massachusetts, among several other colleges and
universities.
He began his career as a math and history teacher in Gardner, MA in 1955 before becoming an
elementary school principal in the Central Berkshire Regional School District in 1963, where he
lead several schools throughout the district until his retirement in 1989. He was the president of
various Teachers Associations including Gardner, Hinsdale Union, and Berkshire County and
was a lifelong member of the National Education Association. He was a firm believer that
education was a universal right, and that everyone has gifts and intelligences to be nurtured and
respected.
From 1951-1953, Conny served in the United States Army working in intelligence and as a radio
repairman during the Korean conflict. He was stationed in Hokkaido, Japan. Upon discharge, he
joined the American Legion, and was a lifelong member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
(VFW). He served as Commander of Post #905 in Gardner, MA and then Commander of Post
#9566 in Dalton, MA. From 1977-1978, he was elected Massachusetts VFW State Commander,
one of his proudest accomplishments. Nationally, he was Vice Chairman of the POW/MIA
Committee from 1993-1994, Vice Chairman of the VA Hospital Committee from 1994-1995,
and Vice-Chairman of the National Community Activities Committee from 1995-1996.
Additionally, he served as the VFW State Parliamentarian for thirty years.
As a proud veteran, Conny was honored to march in several Memorial and Independence Day
parades for over sixty years. He was often asked to be a guest speaker extolling on the
importance of care for fallen veterans, our need to rise up as a community and to love our
neighbors, and the greatness of the ideals upon which America was founded.
A staunch advocate for veteran's rights, Conny volunteered tirelessly at the Northampton VA
Hospital and the former Rutland VA Hospital where he received special recognition by the
Veterans Administration for a lifetime of service.
While in Hinsdale, Conny served as Treasurer of the United Way and the Salvation Army. When
he moved to Worthington with his young family in 1967, he became the Town Moderator, a role
he held for fifteen years. He also served as the town's Veterans Agent, President of the
Worthington Library Corporation, Vice President of the Worthington Historical Society, and
Treasurer for Housing for the Elderly.

�Conny was a diehard Red Sox fan. While serving as State Commander of the VFW, he was
invited by the Boston Red Sox to throw out the opening pitch, first at Fenway Park in Boston,
and then against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1978; one of the great
honors of his life.
In addition to baseball, Conny had many interests and passions. He coached basketball and Babe
Ruth Little League baseball for several years. He loved to play golf at the Worthington Golf
Course, where he was a long-time member and twice hit a hole-in-one. Conny was an avid
gardener; his family spent the winters pining for the ripened tomatoes of which he was especially
proud. As a lifelong learner, Conny read constantly, and he loved to debate politics over coffee
with friends at the Worthington General Store. His interest in other cultures lead him to a
lifetime of international travel. Conny loved to sing to his children, his grandchildren, and to his
wife. His voice was rich and beautiful, filled with the love he felt for his family.
Conny is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Julia Joanne (Comeau) Sharron; his eight
loving daughters, Helen &amp; David Pollard of Worthington; Ramona Gallagher of Worthington;
Melissa &amp; Jeffrey Brodsky of Wayne, PA; Annie &amp; Matthew Lagoy of Worthington; Catherine
&amp; Thomas Pease of Worthington; Margaret Sharron &amp; Emmanuel Cecchet of Huntington;
Pamela Sharron &amp; Scott Evans of Florence; Octavia &amp; Andrei Litvinov of Philadelphia, PA; and
his twenty beautiful grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Conny's Catholic faith was unwavering. He was proud of being an altar boy, serving the mass in
Latin. He was a communicant of Saint Agnes Church in Dalton, MA and spent his life giving to
others as an educator, a community leader, and a volunteer. In lieu of flowers, his family requests
you perform an act of loving kindness to someone in need.

                    <text>Suzanne Fisk Obituary
Suzanne Baldwin Fisk 1935 - 2022 WORTHINGTON Suzanne Baldwin Fisk (87) passed away
peacefully on Saturday, August 20. Suzanne was born in Springfield, MA and grew up in
Longmeadow, MA with her parents, Dr. Edward Baldwin and Marguerite Baldwin. Her late
husband, Noyes (Peter) Mayo Fisk Jr. and Sue resided in Longmeadow MA where they raised
their four children before moving to Worthington, MA. She leaves behind her children; Jeffrey
W. Fisk and his wife Leslie of Rock Island, TN, Timothy N. Fisk and his wife Anne of Soddy
Daisy, TN, David N. Fisk and his wife Laura of East Granby, CT, and Leslie F. Figiela and her
husband Edward of Worthington, MA. She will be dearly missed by her eight grandchildren;
Whitney Fisk and her partner Eric Busse, Afton Sparrow and her husband Coyote Sparrow,
Jessica Russell and her husband Jamie Russell, Ryan Fisk, Lindsay Rodriguez and her husband
Felix Rodriguez, Daniel Bridge and his wife Tori Bridge, Rachel Ehresman and her husband
Xavier Ehresman, and Emily Figiela. There are also three great-grandchildren (with a fourth in
the works!); Jordan Russell, Zuk Sparrow and Milli Rodriguez who will all miss their Nana. Sue
also leaves behind her sister Joann Baldwin Lexow and her husband Eric of Jamestown, RI. She
is preceded by her sister Nancy Baldwin Adams of Chebeague Island, ME. Suzanne graduated
from McDuffie School for Girls in Springfield before attending Bradford Junior College. She
worked for the American Red Cross in the Springfield administration offices. While her children
were in school, she enjoyed working with the Junior League of Longmeadow. Suzanne obtained
her real estate license and worked for Trend Realty in Longmeadow. She also started her own
business, Kinnebrook Antiques, which she successfully ran for several years. Sue was a regular
participant in numerous clubs and attended area antique shows. Intermittently through the years
Sue would also work side-by-side with her husband Peter at his business, Plumb Auto Supply in
Northampton, MA. Later in life Suzanne resided in Worthington, MA and treasured her time in
the Berkshires. Documenting her family's genealogy was Suzanne's passion and it took her to
several New England states as well as a trip to England in search long passed relatives. Over the
years Suzanne would visit various churches, town halls and local cemeteries in her quest for
information on her ancestry. She was active with the Council on Aging and enjoyed golfing and
socializing at the Worthington Golf Club. Suzanne was an active member of the Worthington
Congregational Church. Suzanne will be remembered fondly by her family, friends and the
countless people her life touched over the years. Her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren will miss her dearly and cherish the memories of their time with Mom/Nana both
in Worthington and the several trips to Florida where she and Peter would invite all the children
to come visit. The memorial service will be held at 4pm on Friday, September 9, at the First
Congregational Church of Worthington, 159 Huntington Road (Rte. 112), Worthington, MA.

                <text>Robert L. Cushman (1926 - 2023). &#13;
&#13;
Surrounded by his loving family, Robert Lawless Cushman of Worthington MA passed on to be with his Lord on October 8, 2023, at the age of 97. Robert was a man highly respected in his spheres of influence, known particularly as a hard-working man who loved his family, served his community, and left a legacy of love for wildlife and nature. Robert aka "Bob" was born in Greenfield, MA on April 8, 1926, the youngest son of Burt and Alice Cushman. He was adored by his 3 pre-deceased siblings, Jack, Corky, and Lee, and their children; and his extended family also included his life-long best friend Ernie Hatter, Stamford CT. Bob was an avid learner known for his tremendous memory for names and places, who enjoyed poetry, cooking, gardening, and building projects with wood. His formal education included Springfield Technical High School, Monson Academy, American International College, and Bartlett Tree School for his professional training as an Arborist. He developed that skill to become an expert tree surgeon and conservationist. In 1950, Bob married Carol Evelyn Stuart (pre-deceased) of Stamford CT, lived in Springfield and East Longmeadow MA, and became the father of 7 children. Bob cherished his children and had special relationships with their spouses and grandchildren. Sandra (and Stuart) Gittleman, Cornelius NC (Shira, Isaac, Daniel) Robbie S. (pre-deceased) Pamela (and Gary) Standing, Springfield MA (Michael) Connie Lieberwirth Villeneuve (pre-deceased) (Jill, Andrew, Taylor, Rachel) Mary-Alice (and Roger) Dager, Springfield MA (Grace) Tracey (and Rich) Walz, Brewster MA (Jamison, Joseph, Andrew) Scott (and Laura) Cushman, East Longmeadow MA (Zachary, Hannah) Professionally Bob worked for the Springfield Parks Department, founded his own R. L. Cushman Tree Company, and provided leadership for the MassMutual Grounds Service for 30 years. Several trees were planted and nurtured by Bob, adorning the Pioneer Valley and beyond. In 1992, Bob married Carol Ann Sheret of Hampden MA, blending his family with her family of three daughters, who he loved as his own. Ginger Kairys, Westfield MA (Melissa, Jenny) Bonnie Charpentier (and Paul), Huntington MA (Krystle, Paul) Wendy (and Chris) Nardacci, Anaconda MT (Nichole, Amber) Together, Bob and Carol Ann built an incredibly beautiful life together. They fulfilled their dream of designing and building a home in Worthington which they fondly called "a piece of heaven on earth" …a destination for family and friends and a wildlife refuge, which offered hospitality and love to all. FAMILY was Bob and Carol Ann's number one priority. They loved spending time with their children and spouses, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and provided several opportunities to experience life from whale watches, hayrides, craft fairs, and many life celebrations. Together, Bob and Carol Ann shared 10 children, 20 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. Though Bob and Carol Ann shared a large family there were no boundaries to whom they would embrace and take as their own, especially their adopted grandson, Terence Fowler. This "spirit of adoption" was the hallmark of their lives together, a legacy they inspired.&#13;
Throughout his life Bob loved sports. As a young man he excelled playing football and basketball. When he became a father, he transitioned to coaching recreational league basketball, football, and girls' softball. Bob was a much beloved coach and mentor. Bob had an innate gift to see someone's capacity and encouraged their potential earning him the endearing title of "Coach." He was an avid fan of the Red Sox, Patriots, and college teams. Bob was a faithful and active church member, laying a foundation of Christian faith for his children when they were young, and most recently served the community of Worthington and Worthington Congregational Church. His faith-in-action was caring for and serving others. A special thank you to Dr. Paul Farkas who for several decades attended to Bob's health and wellness, extending his life, and became a dear friend. Also, special thanks to Mercy Medical Center and its staff for providing stellar care. </text>
