Obituary of Sheralyn Lee Wasley

Sheralyn "Sherry" Wasley, age 66, peacefully passed away surrounded by her family on Thursday, May 8th at 5:05am. She was born on November 21, 1947 in Cortland, NY, the daughter of Laurayne LaPlant and Maynard Cottom. Sherry attended Homer High School and was part of the graduating class of 1967. She went on to raise her two daughters, Kelly and Kimberly, and worked to provide for her family. Sherry was one of the hardest workers anyone had met. She started her bartending career at Dashers, and went on to The Pine Grove Inn where she worked first for John Kyle, then for Dorina Johnson for many years before she and her husband opened a bar of their own, Sherry's. Everyone who knew Sherry already knows that family and friends were her passion. She made sure everyone was taken care of before herself. She was an amazing friend, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and sister. Sherry enjoyed her cocktails and loved spending time in the sun by her pool in the summer, and enjoyed doing puzzles in the winter. Along with her husband, Frank, she ran a successful business where she touched the heart of every single one of her customers and made them feel like family. Sherry always had a smile on her face that would make anyone's bad days better. Sherry was predeceased by her loving mother Laurayne LaPlant who she could not wait to see again. Sherry is survived by her beloved husband Frank Wasley Jr., her daughters – Kelly Aylesworth, and Kimberly Neal (Michael "Mac" Macpherson), her grandchildren – Jessica Burhans (Jake), Jordan Wehland, and Tony Neal, her great-granddaughters Bailey Sue Burhans "Peaches & Cream" Hailey Abshire, and Aubrey Abshire, her brother Ken Cottom (Maureen), her sister Laura Call (Tim Francis), her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and her dear friends, and her stepchildren Kathy Encinas, Randy Wasley (Sherrie), Bryan Wasley(Christina), James Wasley (Judy), David Wasley, step grandchildren & step great grandchildren Nichole, Kevin, Stephanie, Heather, Schuyler, Hanna, Willow, & Jade.
