Biography
WORCESTER – Evelyn C. (Shear) Zaritt, 98, of Worcester, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 11, 2015 under the loving care of her family and the staff at the Jewish Healthcare Center in Worcester. Born in Biddeford, Maine in 1917, Evelyn was the daughter of Max and Celia (Branson) Shear and lived 69 years in Worcester.
She was married to the late Dr. Samuel Zaritt for 59 years. She leaves her two sons, Edward Zaritt and his wife, Shoshanah of Worcester and David Zaritt and his wife, Judy of Tampa, Florida; seven grandchildren Will Corrdin and his spouse Veronique, Jesse Zaritt and his partner Niall Jones, Addie Levert and her husband Gilon Levert, Saul Zaritt and his partner Mihaela Pacurar, Goldie Zaritt, Eli Zaritt, and Ben Zaritt; one great grandchild Ruben Corrdin; and many nephews and nieces. Besides her parents, Evelyn was predeceased by her sisters Ida Shear, Sarah Kaplan, and Esther Miller and a brother Irving Shear.
A special thank you to Gladys Augustin and the staff from the Independence Health Care for providing loving care to Evelyn during her time of need.
Evelyn was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend who delighted in the accomplishments of her family, loved a good word or phrase in English and Yiddish, and was particularly proud of her Maine and New England roots. Evelyn relished Jewish culture and tradition. She was a long time member of Congregation Beth Israel of Worcester, and a lifetime member of the Jewish Home Ladies Auxiliary of Worcester and Hadassah Organization. Before getting married, Evelyn worked as the executive secretary for Rabbi Joseph Shubow of Congregation B’nai Moshe in Boston. As a child of Eastern European immigrants, she carried many responsibilities to support her family’s business and home life. She loved to share rich stories of her past with her children and grandchildren about Jewish life in Maine, including working for her father’s kosher butcher business and in later years vacationing in Old Orchard Beach.
She will be remembered as a lifelong learner, a lover of history and well respected in her community. Her loving family will miss her dearly. A graveside service will be held at 11 AM on Monday, October 12, at The Holy Society Cemetery, Havana Road, Leicester under the direction of Richard Perlman of the Miles Funeral Home of Holden. Rabbi Richard Rudnick will officiate.
Memorial observances will be held each evening (4 – 9 PM, minyan at 7 PM) through Wednesday October 14th at the home of Edward and Shoshanah Zaritt, 37 Tory Fort Lane, Worcester and then continuing at the home of David and Judy Zaritt, 14305 Bellemont Place, Tampa through Monday morning October 19th.
