Honoring Annastasia Lynn Mangel Sherer – A Mother, A Fighter, A Light

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Annastasia — a beautiful soul, a loving single mother, a proud member of the National Guard, and a fierce fighter. After a year and a half-long battle with ulcerative colitis and multiple surgeries, her body could no longer keep up with her unstoppable spirit.

Annastasia was a source of laughter, strength, and unconditional love for everyone around her. Even in her hardest days, she gave generously — with her smile, her time, and her heart. She leaves behind her children, Cade and Olivia, who were her entire world.

As we navigate this unimaginable loss, we’re reaching out for help with funeral expenses and to support her kids as they face life without their mother. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward honoring Annastasia’s memory and helping her children find stability during this incredibly difficult time.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page — and more than anything, keep her children in your hearts.

Thank you for loving Anastasia the way she loved all of us.
