Mary Sherrier Obituary
Born in Berwyn, IL, she grew up in Westfield, NJ, and resided in Florida for many years before moving to Lawrenceville 9 years ago. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Education in 1970 from Kean College and took great pride in teaching elementary school for many years in Roselle, New Jersey. Mary retired in 1989 from New York Life, where she was employed as a claims examiner. In her retirement, Mary continued her teaching vocation by teaching in Trinitarian Mission Schools in Mississippi and Alabama. She also enjoyed working for several years at Disney World. Mary was an avid traveler and was very proud that she had visited all 50 States and four continents. Mary had a love of crafts and sewing and enjoyed displaying her work; her grandchildren are comforted by the blankets and other crafts they received from Grandma over the years. Mary also passed down her passion for reading to her children and grandchildren; she could be found with a good mystery in her hands until the day of her passing. Mary was a Parishioner at St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church. She was a member of the Altar Rosary Society, St. Ann's Volunteers and the Third Order Dominican Sisters.
Mary is survived by her brothers Fred and Leo Eckmann; her children and their spouses Patricia and Carmine Battinelli, Tom and Kandi Sherrier, Ed and Mary Beth Sherrier, Jack and Doreen Sherrier, Joe and Cherie Sherrier, and Kay Sherrier and Mike Canavan; 15 grandchildren and 2 great granddaughters.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday at 11:30AM at St. Ann's Church, 1253 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08548. There will be no calling hours.
Interment will follow at St. Mary's Cemetery, Hamilton, NJ.

I have been truly blessed to get to know Mary from our weekly prayer group gatherings at Morris Hall. Her presence and faith-sharing were gifts to all of us. Mary's enduring faith was clearly evident in the stories she shared and by the love/kindness she showed in her daily life. Although we will all miss her, we are comforted that she is home, in arms of our loving Lord. Our prayer group will continue to keep Mary and all those who mourn her passing in our prayers.

I had the pleasure of getting to know and love Mary Sherrier while she was at Morris Hall. I admired her greatly and loved to listen to her stories of travelling the country, looking through her pictures with her, and admiring her undeniable strength and fortitude no matter what was happening. She named her faith and her family as the most important things in her life, and you all should know, as her children, grandchildren and legacy, that she loved you soooo very much. You were the light of her life, and just know that she touched all of us here, and I am so happy and proud to have known her. I know I will never forget her. My deepest sympathies and blessings to you all.
