Obituary for Gary Arthur Wells
Gary Arthur Wells, 69, a longtime resident of Chelmsford, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 31, 2022 at Lowell General Hospital surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of Pamela Ruth (Prouty) Wells with whom he shared 40 years of marriage.
Gary was born in Brattleboro, VT on December 23, 1952 and was the son of the late Winston “Brud” Kenmore and Ruth Ellen (Holden) Wells.
Gary was a graduate of American International College. After graduating, he worked at Vermont National Bank in Brattleboro, VT. In the years following, Gary took a position at Commercial Union Insurance Company in Boston and moved to Massachusetts where he started his family. Gary remained with the company until he retired in 2010.
Gary loved spending time with family, visiting his hometown and reminiscing shared memories. He enjoyed the beach and never missed an opportunity to soak up the sun and get lost in a good read. He was a passionate sports fan with the gift of gab! His charm and genuine kindness turned everyone he met into a new friend.
Gary was a man of strong faith and sang with his church choir, served as a Lector and served on both the Social Ministry and Mutual Ministry committees. He served the community by volunteering at the Lowell Transitional Living Shelter and the local libraries.
In addition to his loving wife, Gary leaves his children; Matthew and Heather. He was a loving brother to Kimberly Mckay of Brattleboro, VT and Linda Delano of Berlin, CT. He will also be remembered as “Ho-Ho” by many nieces and nephews.
His contagious laugh and comforting hugs will be remembered always, until we're together again.
