away peacefully on May 12, 2023, with family at her side, at
the home of her brother Brian Lance and his partner Sue
Paquin in Ocala, FL.
Born on November 12, 1954, in Staten Island NY, the
daughter of Thelma (Ferkel) and Ernest (Ernie) Lance.
Sherry grew up in Waterbury, CT and worked in the
hospitality industry until her move to Colorado Springs, CO
in the 1990’s, where she worked as a CNA until the early
2000’s. In 1994 she married Robert Loining, with whom
she shared her life until his passing in 2015.
Sherry moved to Lake Suzy, Florida in July 2020. Living
with Brian and Sue, she fell in love with Florida because
of the amazing weather. She spent her days walking
outdoors, writing in her journal and meeting new friends.
She was also an avid animal lover, especially her beloved
cat Charlie, who was by her side when she passed.
She is predeceased by both her parents, as well as her
brothers Tony, Jimmy and Rich Lance, who will all be
waiting for her at the gates of heaven. Left to cherish her
memory are her brother Brian and his partner Sue,
numerous nieces and nephews and many good friends.
