Gloria Ahearn Obituary

Palmer-Gloria Marie (Brothers) Ahearn, 96, was reunited with her beloved late husband, Emmett on July 21, 2205 at Quaboag Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center. Born December 31, 1928 in Palmer, she was the daughter of Hector and Marie (Nicholas) Brothers. Gloria has been a lifelong resident of Palmer and was a communicant of St. Thomas the Apostle Church. She was also active in the Palmer Senior Center and enjoyed her crossword puzzles. Over the years, she collected hundreds of bells and her sweet tooth relished in Keebler Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. Gloria was an animal lover, most especially cats. In 2021, Gloria was predeceased by her husband, Emmett Ahearn and is the last surviving of her siblings, Barbara Stred, Ector Brothers, Clifford Brothers, Jean Wilson, and Robert Brothers. Gloria will be dearly missed by her daughter, Robin McClenaghan and her grandson, Bruce Godin both of Three Rivers along with many nieces and nephews and extended family. A funeral service will be held Friday, August 1 at 11:00 a.m. at the Beers & Story Palmer Funeral Home with burial to follow in St. Thomas Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in her memory to the Palmer Senior Center.
