Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 6, 2024.
Sheri Lynn Dowling (Bolton) of Hatfield, PA, passed away on May 29, 2024, at the age of 77. She was surrounded by loved ones in her home.

Sheri was a devoted wife to Paul, a loving mother to Alicia and Shawn (Dale), and a cherished stepmother to Paulina Dowling-Bartecchi (Joseph) and Karen Coffey (Mark). She is also survived by her sister Christie Kriebel, brother Raymond Bolton, Sister In-law Teddy Bolton and nieces and nephews.

Sheri was preceded in death by her mother Joyce Bolton/Step Father Warren, father Thomas Croucher/ Stepmother Nan and a brother Miles Bolton.

Sheri had a passion for animals, always welcoming them into her home from various rescues. She had a special bond with her pets, including a stray cat who seemed to have chosen her as his owner. Sheri enjoyed solving crossword puzzles, reading books by James Patterson, and listening to the music of Queen and other bands from the same era.

Born on May 9, 1947, Sheri graduated from North Penn High School Class of '65. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends especially Barbara and Chickie.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Sheri's name to your local Animal Rescue Organization.
