Sharon Calandra Obituary

Sharon, "Sherri", M. Calandra, 65, of Estero, FL, passed away on June 1, 2023. Sherri was a kind and loving mother, sister, aunt, daughter, and friend to many. She warmed the hearts of those around her with her generosity and caring nature. Sherri's vibrant and high-spirited personality was loved by many. She was an expert in making someone feel welcomed instantly. She was a dedicated member of the Catholic Church, and this was epitomized in her unending faith in God and her commitment to charity work in her hometown of Buffalo, New York.

Sherri is survived by her son AJ Sturniolo, her daughter Leah (Trevor) Suttie, her brother James (Barbara) Kalec, her sister Mary Kay (Peter) Lonergan, her sister Jean Ann (Brian) Hayden, several nieces and nephews, and her former husband of 27 years, Fred Calandra. She was preceded in death by her mother Lucille Kalec and her father Bernard Kalec.

Sharon's life will be celebrated with a memorial service on Saturday, July 22nd at 8:45am at St. Gregory the Great Parish in Williamsville, NY. Following the service, a celebration of life will be held at Glen Park Pavilion in the town of Williamsville/Amherst.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to 'Sleep in Heavenly Peace' - Buffalo, NY Chapter.
