Sheryl was a loving mother and grandmother who always put her family first. Her children’s happiness was all that she wanted out of life. She would give the shirt off her back if someone needed it, and her smile and laughter could brighten even the cloudiest of days. Sheryl was a hard worker for her entire life. Whether she was working as a house keeper, putting in long hours at the factory, or enjoying her most rewarding job of all which was caring for the elderly, she always did it with a big heart.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Immaculate Conception Church, 1180 State Highway 206, Greene with the Rev. Charles Currie officiating. Arrangements are under the care of Kennedy Funeral Home, 21 North Chenango Street, Greene.
