Pamela Sharples, Baroness Sharples

Pamela Sharples, Baroness Sharples (born 11 February 1923) is a British Conservative Party politician. She was made a life peer after the assassination of her husband, Sir Richard Sharples, Governor of Bermuda.

She married the then Major Sharples in 1946. They had two sons and two daughters. She supported his career as a Member of Parliament. She accompanied him to Bermuda in 1972 when he was appointed governor.

Sir Richard was shot on 10 March 1973 at the governor's mansion in Pembroke, Bermuda by Erskine Burrows along with his aide-de-camp and his Great Dane. The family left Bermuda and did not return for many years, although they did later return and purchased a house.

Sharples was made a life peer on 18 June 1973 as Baroness Sharples, of Chawton in the County of Hampshire.

She married twice more: Patrick D. de Laszlo in 1977 (died 1980); then Robert Douglas Swan in 1983 (died 1995).
