long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Sharie L. Fiorini-Parsons upon the occasion of her retirement from the
Oneida County Board of Elections after five years of service; and

WHEREAS, Sharie L. Fiorini-Parsons began her service with the Oneida
County Board of Elections in 2020; despite her first year as Deputy
Commissioner of the Board being darkened by a global pandemic, as well
as occurring during a presidential election, she endured and agreed to
continue with the role; and

closely with both Board leadership and staff to ensure compliance with
all State and federal laws and introduce the voter registration and
elections; and

WHEREAS, A loving wife, mother, grandmother, and daughter, Sharie L.
Fiorini-Parsons's well-deserved retirement will allow her to spend more
time with her husband, Scott; her children, Danielle and Michael,
Chelsea and Michael, Kari and Frank, and Ariana; her grandchildren,
Giuliana, Francesca, Michelina, Giavanna, Nico, and Michael; her
parents, Jerry and Frannie; and her mother-in-law, Sheila; and

WHEREAS, In 2025, Sharie L. Fiorini-Parsons retired from the Oneida
County Board of Elections after five years of dedicated service; this
auspicious occasion was celebrated on Friday, December 19, 2025, at It's
a Utica Thing! Kitchen & Bar; and

WHEREAS, Such service, which is truly the lifeblood of our
communities and State, too often goes unrecognized and unheralded; now,
therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Sharie L. Fiorini-Parsons upon the occasion of her retirement; and
be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
