Sheryl “Sherry” Ann Grievo

October 6, 1950 - May 28, 2020

Sheryl “Sherry” Ann Grievo, age 69 years, of Kingwood Township, NJ, died on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at Hunterdon Care Center, Raritan Township, NJ.

Born in Rahway, NJ, October 6, 1950, daughter of the late William and Betty Tucker, Sherry had lived in Berkeley Heights, NJ, and Tewksbury, NJ, before moving to Kingwood Township twenty years ago.

She worked as a proofreader for Summit Bank, Summit, NJ for twenty years, but her passion truly was with animals and most importantly, with family.

Compassionate, loving, kind, strong, and full of laughter, Sherry dedicated most of her time to horses, cats, and dogs. She was a longtime participant with the Equestrian Boarding Business, where she enjoyed giving indoor riding lessons. Long rides on her horse helped ground her to be able to give love to anyone and anything.

With her legendary smile, Sherry could put anyone at ease. She was known as the ‘go-to’ person in her family as she was always available with a listening ear and smart words of advice on any situation. With her cherished and devoted husband, Jim, by her side, the two crafted a life of true love and happiness. She loved being a Mom to her son, Kenneth and daughter, Kristin, and was elated when she earned the title of Grandmother, times five. She enjoyed being there for her children and grandchildren, and especially loved taking them to the lake in Wolfeboro, NH for the past forty years where many happy memories were made and life lessons taught.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a daughter,Tara Jane Grievo and her in-laws James and Jane Grievo, Sr.

Surviving are her loving husband of forty years, James, Jr.; a son, Kenneth; a daughter, Kristin; five grandchildren, Willem, Lily, Jade, Alden, and DJ; several extended family members; and many dear friends.

Jim, Sally and I were sorry to hear of Sherry's passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family. I look forward to seeing you in the future. Sincerely, Steve and Sally

Jim, Kenny, Kristin, grandchildren, and friends to Sher, my heart breaks for you all. I will miss my most gentle friend and her mighty love for all animals and children. Sher’s strength in carrying on through some of life’s most difficult challenges is testament to her strong will and endurance. Not one to complain, Sher found ways to make light of any situation with her sanguine outlook and infectious laugh. Her living example made me a more forgiving and better person.

To Jim, Kenny, Kristin, and family: We were so sorry to hear of Sherry's passing. We have fond memories of seeing you all in Wolfeboro. Praying for all of you and sending (virtual) hugs at this difficult time. Love, The Reilly's Janet, Donna, Kay, Anne and families

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Dear Jim, Family and Friends, It is with a heavy heart that we share in the passing of our beautiful and loving Sheryl "Sherry" Ann Grievo. A more gentle and strong woman does not exist as a wife, mother, grand mother and partner loved and respected by all who knew her. The life Sherry and Jim have built over the last 40 years of marriage would read as a "Best Selling Novel" relating every human emotion and experience, portraying happiness, joy, sadness and hope as a legacy which will never be forgotten. Through the tragic loss of their blessed daughter Tara, Sherry held the family together including Jim, though her pain was personal and profound as she soldiered on through life, Sherry showed us all how to grieve and continue to live on. Sherry's beauty was physical as well as from within and most sincere to everyone she knew leaving an indelible reminder of her time on God's good earth. Lets remember Sherry with a smile on her face and sweetness in her voice for she set an example we all shall aspire too. God Bless you Sherry...you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Frank Gaglio and Family
