Judith Sherer Obituary

Judith Ann Sherer

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Judith Ann Sherer at 3:22 p.m. Sunday, March 23, 2025, at the age of 80.

Judy was born March 17, 1945, in Tiffin, to parents, Donald Buttruff and Betty Porter. Judy lived the last two years of her life at Autumnwood Care Center in Tiffin.

Judy was known for her boisterous personality, charming sense of humor, and above all, her kind heart. She had strong relationships with all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Judy would often do puzzles, cook with her family, and host large family gatherings during holidays. Although her family mourns her loss, we take comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain.

Judy is survived by her beloved husband, Lanny Sherer, after almost 62 years of marriage. They fell in love while attending Columbian High School in Tiffin, (graduating classes of 1962 and 1963). They were wed June 29, 1963, in Tiffin.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Donald Buttruff and Betty Porter; sister, Jennifer Ohler; and grandson, Adam Jacobs.

Judy is also survived by a brother, Larry (Ginny) Ohler; children, Kevin Sherer, Kim (Chris) Jacobs, and Kristopher Sherer; grandchildren, Amber (Lue) Chandler, Autumn (Dewayne) Jacobs-Kelly, Brianna (Jessie) Parkins, Kaleb Sherer, and Kyle Sherer; great-grandchildren, Madison Smith, Ayden Chandler, Cameron Smith, Jackson Chandler, Rylee Parkins, Sylvia Parkins, and Alex Parkins.

Judy's ashes will be spread over Lake Erie with her family present as part of her final wishes. Engle-Shook Funeral Home & Crematory in Tiffin is assisting family with their arrangements.

It's rare in life to have someone to call "your person" grandma you were my person. You were my outlet my whole life to call you anytime and you were always there for me no matter what. You will always be my best friend and knowing you are no longer in pain and with Adam gives me some peace. Even though I wanted to be selfish and have you live forever because knowing I have to go the rest of my life without you hurts. I love you forever grandma.
