Sheryl Perlick has always been the heart of her family—a caring, sassy, and funny woman who cheered for the New York Giants and made everyone feel welcome. She was the kind of person who would do anything for her kids, grandkids, and even their friends, always showing up with a smile and a helping hand. Her three daughters, Corinne, Deanna, and Jillian, have been by her side every step of the way, making sure she received the best care possible at home.

In April of last year, Sheryl lost her husband of 40 years, adding to the family’s heartbreak. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with ALS after what was first thought to be a stroke. In just a few months, her health declined rapidly. She lost her voice, her ability to walk, and much of her independence. Despite these challenges, her daughters devoted themselves to her care, ensuring she was surrounded by love and comfort. Riverside Hospice has provided invaluable support, helping to keep Sheryl as comfortable as possible during her final days.

Now, as Sheryl nears the end of her journey, her family is facing the difficult task of saying goodbye. They are raising funds to cover the costs of her cremation and death certificate, hoping to honor her wishes and give her the dignified farewell she deserves. The community has already shown kindness through visits, thoughtful words, and helping with the grandkids. Sheryl’s family wants everyone to remember her for her big heart and the love she shared with everyone she met. Any support will help ease the burden on her daughters and allow them to focus on celebrating Sheryl’s life and legacy.
