Sheila-Mae (Gordon) Zonfrillo

Warwick - Sheila-Mae Zonfrillo, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 7, 2023, at Kent Hospital in Warwick, Rhode Island, just shy of her 70th birthday. Born on August 27, 1953, in Providence, Rhode Island, Sheila-Mae was the daughter of the late Vincent and Veronica (Russell) Gordon. Throughout her life, she was known for her loving, kind, and spirited nature.

Sheila-Mae was the devoted wife of the late Kenneth Parsons and the late Robert Zonfrillo. She was an adoring mother to Melissa-Ann Chace and her husband Barry of West Warwick. Her love extended to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as she was the cherished grandmother of Michael Calise II, and the doting great-grandmother of Aria Calise. Sheila-Mae was a dear sister to Veronica DiSalvo of Barrington, Linda Martin of East Providence, and the late Barbara Ricci. She was also a treasured aunt to many nieces and nephews.

In her professional life, Sheila-Mae was a dedicated worker. She spent many years as a bartender, where her spirited nature and friendly demeanor made her a favorite among patrons. She also worked in retail sales at the former Zayre's Department Store. Her hard-working attitude and commitment to customer service were appreciated by all who had the pleasure of working with her.

Sheila-Mae's interests were varied and many. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life such as gardening and playing cards. She greatly enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, cherishing every moment she got to spend with them. She also had a special place in her heart for her dog, "Boss-Man," who was more than a pet to her; he was her loyal companion and friend.

Sheila-Mae's life was one of love and joy. She touched the lives of everyone she met with her kindness and spirit. She was a beacon of positivity and strength, radiating love to all those around her. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of her family and friends, but her memory lives on in the love and happiness she brought into their lives.

Her family and friends will forever remember Sheila-Mae for her loving spirit, her kindness, and her zest for life. She made the world a better place with her presence, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
