Obituary


Worcester: Alice P. (Thompson) Pashoogian, 96, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 2, 2023 in Dodge Park Rest Home. She leaves 2 daughters- Sandie Glanville of Worcester and Linda Menard and her husband William of North Brookfield; 5 grandchildren-Kerri Glanville of Worcester, Nicole Girardin and her fiancé Derek Carlson of Holden, Jarrod Girardin of Holden, Tara Menard and her fiancé Benjamin Heathcote of Worcester, and Eric Menard of North Brookfield; 7 great grandchildren-Joseph, Nicholas, Brianna, Mason, Braydon, JJ, and Beau; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 43 years Michael Pashoogian, a son Arthur "Skip" Girardin, a sister Phyllis Gass, and a brother Charles Thompson.

Alice was born in Detroit, MI, daughter of the late Wayne and Pauline (Smithson) Thompson. In her late teens, she worked as a model for Arthur's Department Store in Detroit showing off all the latest fashions. She moved back to Massachusetts prior to starting her family and happily lived there for the rest of her life working as a professional nanny before retiring to care for 3 of her grandchildren.

Alice was deeply loved by her family and Saturdays spent around her dining room table were a favorite for her daughters, her grandchildren and eventually, her great-grandchildren too. She hosted all holidays and always made sure the table was set with her beautiful china and that there were plenty of leftovers.

Summers, school vacations and sick days spent at Gram’s/Nina’s were always fun and filled with trips to the playground, fancy tuna lunches, watching the Price is Right, walking all around Holden and plenty of coffee to drink.

In her spare time, Alice enjoyed reading, writing, traveling to Michigan, Virginia and Maine, and looking at the moon.

Gram gave the best goodbyes, waving from her side porch and then front porch until what seemed like you were just about home, so please share in our goodbye to her with a
celebration of life visitation to be held on Friday, June 9, 2023 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in Nordgren Memorial Chapel 300 Lincoln St. Worcester, MA 01605. A memorial service will follow at 6:30 in the funeral home.

Her family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the excellent and loving care she received at Dodge Park. Her nurses and the staff became part of her family and knew and loved her very much. In lieu of flowers, donations in Alice's memory may be made to Dodge Park Rest Home 101 Randolph Rd. Worcester.
