Sherene Power Obituary
August 10, 1946 - April 7, 2025
Sherene Power, 78, of Aiken, SC passed away on April 7th at Piedmont Augusta Hospital, Augusta, GA.
Born August 10, 1946, Sherene was the daughter of the late Harlan P. and Constance Guyle Driscoll. In 1964, Sherene graduated from Marywood Seminary in Scranton, PA and married Gary Power. Together, they ran a dairy farm in Cayuga, NY until 1985 when they relocated to Aiken, SC.
Sherene was a devout Catholic. She enjoyed and thrived at the beach, pool or lake and was a huge Jimmy Buffet fan. She loved to read and crochet in her spare time and was famous for her delicious apple pies with perfect crusts! She was extremely active in the lives of all of her children and grandchildren and will be greatly missed.
Sherene is survived by her husband of 60 years, Gary Power; daughter Renee Jakaub (Shawn); son Sean Power (Carrie); daughters Carrie Katonak (Brian) and Sara Barber (Matt); grandchildren Amanda Kelley (Matthew), Kimberly Calhoun (Josh), Megan and Spencer Power, Lauren and Amy Katonak, Lindsey and Lila Barber; great granddaughter Emma Jane Kelley; brothers Peter (Susan), David (Cheryl) and Dan (Cheryl) Driscoll, as well as many nieces and nephews and her beloved Yorkie Bentley.
A memorial celebration will be held from 1-4 p.m., Sunday August 10th at Old Hickory Farm in Weedsport New York. All are welcome to attend and join us in remembering Sherene.
