Gloria R. Pare

Gloria R. (Perrault) Pare, 76, of Woonsocket, passed away on November 20, 2025, at the Holiday Retirement Home. Born in Woonsocket, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Rose (Vincelette) Perrault.

Known for her warm smile and easy laugh, Gloria had a special way of making everyone around her feel welcome. She was the kind of person who lit up a room simply by walking into it, and she was loved by all who knew her.

Ms. Pare worked for Hanora Spinning and brought the same dedication and positivity to her work that she shared with her family and friends. She enjoyed BINGO, flea markets, and yard sales, and she had a natural creativity that showed in her many crafts. Gloria's joy in simple pleasures, and the way she included others in them, made her companionship something truly special.

A devoted grandmother, Gloria cared for all of her grandchildren at some point in their lives, offering them not only her time but her warmth, humor, and boundless affection.

She leaves her children, Tina Pare and her husband, Gregory Marcoux, of North Smithfield, Wayne Pare of Woonsocket, and Roxanne Pare of Manville; her former husband, Ronald Pare of Blackstone, MA; three siblings, Robert and John Perrault and Irene Croteau, all of Blackstone; four grandchildren, Cory Pare, Olivia Marcoux, and TJ and Katana Scanlon; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Howard Perrault, and her grandson, Derek Lemay.

Those who loved Gloria will remember her as a bright, loving presence whose kindness touched everyone she met. Her light lives on in the hearts of her family and friends.
