With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Patricia "Pat/Patty" Sherman. Surrounded by her family she left us far too soon on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the age of 75. She was born on December 24, 1949, in Jamestown, New York to the late Evelyn McKain and was preceded in death by her brother Lowell (Mickey) McKain and sister Donna Bauer (McKain).

Pat was a beloved wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to so many. She was also a talented LPN and worked two full-time jobs for many years. She retired in 2019 from The Resource Center after 33 years of service in the healthcare field.

Patty was a member of the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club and the VFW.

Mom never missed any important events or birthdays involving family. She had the unique ability to make you feel special and was always the first call family members received on their birthdays. We will miss being serenaded with her unique rendition of, "happy birthday".

She lived a life marked by deep compassion, quiet strength, and devotion to her family. She touched the lives of so many with her guidance, generosity, and unwavering love. Throughout life, Pat found joy in the simple things—always looking forward to the birth of her foals and calves, bird watching, bailing hay, tending to her garden, hunting, solving word puzzles, camping or just puttering around the farm. Above all, spending time with her husband and family were her most cherished activities.

She is survived by her beloved husband William "Bill" Sherman; son Brian (Kathy) Whalen; daughter Stacie (David) Hornburg; step-daughters Julie (John) Covert and Sheila (Gil) Marzinek; grandchildren; Amanda (Christopher) Johnson, Brittany (Jeffrey) Green, Jordan (Miranda) Chamberlin, Branden (Molly) Decker, Brandon (Kelly) Chamberlin, Taylor Whalen, Justin Whalen, Kamarin Whalen, Corinne Covert, Lydia Covert, Elizabeth Hornburg, and Jessica Hornburg; six great grandchildren and her two fur-babies Spotter and Maggie.

Her life will be honored in a private family memorial service. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in her honor to the Chautauqua County Humane Society or Chautauqua County 4H.
