GLENS FALLS NY — Carolyn Gerrard, aka Carolyn Iler Shoen Gerrard, died June 8, 2018 at Glens Falls Hospital following a brief illness.Carolyn was born in Troy, NY to Elbert Iler and Margaret Waring Iler. She was raised near the Hudson River in Pleasantdale, NY with her surviving sister Agnes Iler Regan, currently of Chandler, AZ. Carolyn graduated from Catholic Central High School in 1951 at the age of fifteen. She attended Albany College of Pharmacy where she met Robert Shoen. She completed two years of school before she married Robert Shoen on August 22, 1953 and they started their family.

Over the next twenty-three years they lived in Troy, Governeur, Ogdensburg, and Syracuse, NY. Their children include Timothy, Catherine, Margaret Susan, Stephen, Michael, Patrick Matthew and Marianne. Carolyn was pre-deceased by Margaret Susan (1978) and Patrick Matthew (2009), as well as Robert, who died unexpectedly in 1976.Carolyn married James Gerrard in 1978 and she is survived by Jim, her husband of thirty-nine years. Jim and Carolyn lived in Longmeadow, MA, and Tarpon Springs and Spring Hill, FL before settling in Glens Falls in 1997.

When her kids got a little older, she successfully started her own consignment store in Manlius, NY and then worked in retail after she relocated with Jim to MA. In Glens Falls, she worked with Sera Graphics at first, and then partnered to create Hometown Tees. That business created and developed designs of imprinted sportswear products that , like the iconic Glens Falls Gazebo design, celebrated community pride throughout the southern Adirondacks.

Poetry

She was a writer of stories and poems. She participated in local writing groups and publicly read selected poems. A life’s worth of poetry was self-published as a book she titled “FACETS”, which was a sentimental collection of her poems describing the adventures of raising seven children.
