Sherry was the best mother anyone could have ever asked for. She was strong, stubborn, beautiful and always put the needs of her family and others above her own. Sherry liked to make jewelry, paint, garden, and was the best cook. She had a fondness for animals. She was devoted to her Greek Orthodox faith and never went a night without saying a prayer. She could always be found with a smile on her face, even in the toughest times. Sherry will be missed by everyone whose life she touched.
Visitation will be held on Monday, May 16, 2022 from 12-2 pm at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home, 301 Curry Hollow Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236. A funeral service will be held at 2 pm following visitation in the funeral home's chapel.
