WATERBURY - Mrs. Gertrude "Gert" (Ouellette) Pryor, age 79 of Waterbury, died unexpectedly on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at St. Mary's Hospital. She was the devoted wife of Arthur Pryor.
Gert was born in Waterbury, CT on March 23, 1935, the daughter of the late Rosario and Antoinette (Heroux) Ouellette. She was a graduate of Sacred Heart Grammar School and High School and was employed for many years in the Billing Office at Campion Ambulance Service. Gert and her husband enjoyed spending winters in Florida and she always enjoyed her Thursday evening card club. Gert was a longtime member of SS Peter & Paul Church where she was a member of their Madonna Guild and the Home & School Association.
