Sherry May

In loving memory of, May, Sharon Ann "Sherry" (nee Ernst), who peacefully departed from this life on May 6, 2025, at the age of 72, from the comfort of her home cared for by family. She was a bright light, a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and a dear friend whose spirit will forever resonate with all who knew her.
Sherry was the beloved wife of "Robert 'RJ' Bob" May for 49 years. Together they built a nurturing home raising three children: Heather (Tara) May, Kyle (Nicole) May and Kara (Tommy) Scheidt. As a proud grandmother, she took immense joy in her role as Grandma to Dominic Gregg, Aiden Gregg, Aubrey May, Brody May, Savanna Scheidt, and Graham Scheidt. She was preceded in death by her parents, William "Bill" and Rose Ernst, as well as a grandchild she now joins in Heaven. Sherry was the dear sister of Bob Ernst, Jeff (Sue) Ernst, and Barb (Larry) Savage. She was also the daughter-in-law of the late John and Trudy May. Sherry is also survived by her in-laws Ken (Cathy) May and Sharon (late David) Larson, her aunts Claire Giesken and Jean (Sonny) Robson, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of whom will forever hold her in their hearts.
Sherry never met a stranger and made everyone who crossed her path feel embraced and cared for. Her heartbeat was her children and grandchildren, and her passion was her work-always focused on others before herself. She worked at Proctor & Gamble for 23 years, she started her real estate career in 1994 at Star One Realtors and moved to RE/MAX in 2001, she was the President for Women's Council of Realtors Cincinnati Chapter for two years and retired in June 2024 after 30 years as a Realtor. Hosting family gatherings, spending quality time with friends, and giving her all to her clients is where you could expect her. She had a remarkable way of letting others feel safe, supported, and unconditionally loved when in her presence. She was someone who was always there when you needed her and you could so easily pick back up from where you left off. Sherry's dear and lasting relationships spread wide and deep; they are a true testament to who she was. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Sherry's beautiful and precious life.
