Sharon "Sherry" (Egloff) Chynoweth, 86, of Ocala, FL, passed away on January 8, 2026 after an incredibly fulfilled life and battle with Aphasia, a disease that robbed Sherry the ability to communicate.  Sherry was born on March 30, 1939 to Lenna and Russell Egloff of Plymouth, Michigan.  After graduating from Plymouth High School in 1957, Sherry married her high school sweetheart, Bert Chynoweth 1 week later.  The couple were blessed with 3 children, Kevin James Chynoweth, Michael Allen Chynoweth, and Susan Marie (Chynoweth) Bevilacqua.  Sherry and Bert celebrated 65 wonderful years of marriage together.  After marrying, Sherry became a domestic engineer!  She learned how to can, make jam, garden, and sew.  Sherry was incredibly proud of her family and prided herself in caring for them.  She loved being a wife, a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.   including her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren Bert was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned.and he was frequently seen with tears of joy and laughter when spending time with his beloved family. Bert was also a passionate RV'er for many years and visited campgrounds all over the United States with his wife Sherry, spreading stories and much love and joy with all he met. Bert also loved model trains and built an incredible train display that he was proud to show to all who came to visit. Patriotism was Bert's passion as he loved his country and tears would stream down his face during Independence Day, patriotic events, and anytime "God Bless the USA" was played. Bert also loved the marvel of engineering, the Mackinac Bridge and could recite almost any facts about the bridge after spending many years walking over the bridge during Labor Day. Above all of Bert's joys and passions, he was a strong and faithful Christian who walked closely with his Lord and Savior. Even as Bert's health faltered in recent years, he never missed the weekly church service and an opportunity to sing and praise his Lord.

Sherry is survived by her sister Jackie (Egloff) Dostal and brother-in-law Joe Dostal, her children Kevin and Lisa Chynoweth, Mike and Julie Chynoweth, and Susan and Patrick Bevilacqua, Grandchildren Hannah Chynoweth, Jenna Chynoweth, Mandy Burch and Chris Burch, Meg and Carl Peterson, Michael and Ashley Chynoweth, Matt and Mariellen Chynoweth, Jake Bevilacqua and Christopher Holman, Nicole and Kyle Reichenbach, Zack and Brenna Bevilacqua, Luke and Riley Bevilacqua, Alayna Bevilacqua, and Great Grandchildren Brock and Brody Burch, Armand and Adelaide Chynoweth, Matt Chynoweth Jr., Christine Peterson, Kinsley, Walker, and Blake Reichenbach and Abbie Bevilacqua.
