Eleria (Lerry) was born on February 4, 1928, in Chicago, IL, to parents, George Sharko and Alexandra (Wolk) Sharko.
She was married and birthed six of her seven children before moving to Tampa, FL in 1962. A seventh child was born in Tampa and the family then moved to Houston, Beaumont, and Tyler, TX. Lerry moved to Doylestown, PA where she resided until retiring in 1983 back to the Houston, TX area.
Unquestionably, her most important life's work was that of a dedicated wife and loving mother to her seven children. Lerry was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother cherishing family time above all else. Lerry was a woman of faith and never missed Sunday Mass often going during the week as well. She also attended Diaconate classes with her husband as he pursued becoming a Deacon.
Lerry always honored each of her family’s birthdays and holidays with a card and sentiment. Health was important to her and she enjoyed water exercise classes as weather permitted and land exercise classes when it did not. She tried her hand at several crafts including sewing, quilting and flower arranging. Finding and trying new recipes was also a fun activity for her.
With her passing we are all missing a piece of our hearts.
Lerry was preceded in death by her loving husband, Leo Francis St. Aubin, her daughter Eileen S. Bournzian, her grandson Jeffrey L. Crain, and her brothers, Gerald, George, and Greg Sharko, and sister, Sister M. Maurita.
Lerry is survived by her brother Don, her children Judith (and Ford) Johnson, Kenneth (and Elizabeth) St. Aubin, Carol (and Bob) Sikes, Patricia (and Frank) Genghini, David (and Lisa Noshi) St. Aubin , and Sondra St. Aubin. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren and several nieces, nephews, and great nieces, and great nephews.
