GORHAM, Maine – Sharon Ann (Lombard) Brooks, 77, passed peacefully on Feb.7, surrounded by the love of her family. Born Feb. 14, 1942 in Standish, Maine, the youngest child of Bill and Peggy Lombard, she attended Gorham schools. Upon graduating, she trained as a dental assistant with Dr. Shehee. She spent her career in private practices, the Windham Correctional Facility, and the Portland school system. Weeks before her 21st birthday she met Ed, and in that boy from Brownfield she found her heart's home. They were married shortly after and spent the next 56 years together raising two daughters, along with becoming the cherished second parents, aunt/uncle and grandparents of their daughters' friends, and the neighborhood children. When not at her beloved camp or traveling, Sharon spent more than 25 years as an EMT with Gorham Fire & Rescue, earning the nickname "Mommy Rescue." A natural designer and artist, she sewed, quilted, crocheted and painted - and her apple pies were legendary. She is survived by her husband Ed; favorite daughters Stephanie and husband Byron Manchester of Casco, Maine, Juli and husband Todd Settlemire of China, Maine; sister Sandra Moses of Southington, Connecticut, sisters-in-law Patricia Lombard of Porter, Maine, and Barbara Lombard of Gorham, Maine. In honor of her wishes, there will be no service.
