Sharron Heath Obituary

Sharron McGorry Heath

Sharron McGorry Heath, 77, of Jim Thorpe, PA, passed away peacefully at her home on April 3, 2025. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her.

Born and raised in Nesquehoning, PA, Sharron was a proud member of the first graduating class of Panther Valley High School. She spent much of her life in Southeast New Jersey before making her home in Jim Thorpe, PA where she continued to share her warmth and creativity with her family and community.

Sharron was a devoted mother to her four children-Shaun Broschard, Jade Michael Broschard, Dawn Broschard Angulo, and Heather Broschard-each of whom she cherished deeply. She was a beloved sister to Dorianne Gogal and Bernie McGorry and a treasured grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt to a large and loving extended family.

Sharron had a gift for staying connected; she often spent hours on the phone catching up with family and friends.

Sharron was preceded in death by her husband, Steve Broschard, and her parents, Bernard and Grace McGorry.

Throughout her life, Sharron was known for her creativity and her caring, giving nature. Whether she was creating art, nurturing her family, or lending a helping hand to those in need, Sharron's presence was always marked by love and generosity. She was a proud member of the Orwigsburg Chapter of the Eastern Star, where she found fellowship and purpose through service. She was deeply religious, an avid gardener and loved taking walks with her dog, Precious. A woman of many talents, she worked a variety of jobs over the years, including an adventurous stint driving an 18-wheeler truck across the United States.

A celebration of Sharron's life will be held at 12 noon on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at Zion United Church of Christ, 225 Iron St., Lehighton PA. All who knew and loved Sharron are invited to join us as we honor her memory.

Sharron's legacy of love, creativity, and resilience will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Sharron (mom from the kitchen), you are deeply missed. Words cannot describe what you meant to me. Our nightly conversations and weekends spent with you in Jim Thorpe will always be remembered. I know you are watching over the boys and I from above. We miss you.

I love you with all of my heart. See ya.
