Sherry (Johnson) Berdych, 65, of South Meriden, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, after a brief illness.

A devoted mother and daughter, Sherry is survived by her daughter, Lisa Crespo; her son-in-law, Rauel; her granddaughter, Lorayna; and her loving mother, Alice Parys. She is also survived by many cousins. She was predeceased by her father, Ernest Johnson; her sister, Susan; and her grandson, Reese.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the medical professionals at MidState Medical Center Oncology and Hartford HealthCare Hospice. A special thank you as well to the first responders who came promptly when called. Through your care and compassion, you filled a void for the family.

There will be no calling hours. The family will hold a private graveside service in the spring. Arrangements have been entrusted to the John J. Ferry & Sons Funeral Home, 88 East Main Street, Meriden, CT 06450.
