Sheryl graduated from Northeast High School in 1971. After graduation, she spent time traveling overseas and especially enjoyed exploring the East Coast in her parents' RV. Throughout her career, Sheryl worked for PSFS, the Holy Redeemer Visiting Nurse Agency, and later found joy serving as a lunch aide at Saint Cecilia Parish School in Fox Chase. She had a special connection with the children there, often volunteering her time to help first graders learn to read. Sheryl had a deep love for animals-especially her beloved dogs Ginger, Chelsea, and Cali, and her cats Ashes and Chance. Her home was always open to a variety of pets, as she warmly welcomed the many animals her children brought home over the years.
