Shery Dale Compher

Sherry Dale Compher, age 80, of Scio, passed away Saturday, August 30, 2025, at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh after a sudden illness.

Born September 23, 1944, in Whittier, CA, she was a daughter of the late Dale Snodgrass and Pearl Kuhn Snodgrass. She graduated from Hopedale High School in 1962 and received certification as a licensed cosmetologist and salon manager from the former Steubenville Cosmetology School. She worked for the USPS at the New Rumley and Scio Post Offices for many years prior to working for the Area Agency on Aging in Byesville.

Growing up, Sherry was a member of the Hopedale Methodist Church. She also loved to visit her grandparents' farm that started her life-long love of animals. A wonderful cook and baker, she took pride in gardening and canning the vegetables she grew to use in her recipes, especially the zucchini relish she made for her delicious macaroni salad. She also enjoyed crocheting. Sherry was loving and giving, always sharing her time and talents, especially with children.

Compher, sons David (Marcia) Compher and Michael (Vonda) Compher, both of New Rumley, grandchildren Sarah (Erin) Compher, Shannon (Devin) Bailey and Grace and Tobias Barnhart, great grandchildren Willow, Paisley and Truett and a sister Bonnie Hayton of Florida.
