Sheryl L. Kerr, 74, of Sharon, passed away peacefully on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 12, 2021, at UPMC Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh, following a several month illness.

She was born on Dec. 27, 1946, in Sharon, to William and Rose (Patrizi) Williams.

Sheryl was a graduate of Sharon High School and a devoted wife, mother, and nana to her family. She was a pillar of the American Cancer Society, where she had faithfully served as an administrative assistant for over 35 years before her well-earned retirement in 2012.

Following her retirement, she worked part-time for Altmeyers in Hermitage, where she continued to make many new friends and acquaintances over the years.

She was a former member of the Oakland Avenue United Methodist Church.

Sheryl's greatest joys were her six grandchildren, whom she supported by diligently attending every sporting, dance, or other activities they were involved with. She also was an active fundraiser and supporter of the Relay for Life and was proud of her team "Nana's Super Six."

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her three children, Kurt Donaldson and his wife Yvette, of Florida; Kevin Donaldson and his wife Lisa of West Middlesex; and Nicole Hayne and her husband Dan of Greenville. She was the beloved "Nana" of Kole, Myrissa, Garrett, Delaney Donaldson, Reagan and Bennett Hayne, and sister of Linda Ciccone.

Sheryl was preceded in death by her parents; her husband and soulmate Frederick R. Kerr on Nov. 30, 1994; and by her sister Donna LaScola.

Contributions in her honor may be made to Stray Haven Animal Shelter 94 Donation Rd. Greenville, PA.
