Sheri's obituary
Sheri Lopez (Megill), age 67, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2025, in Jackson, New Jersey. Born on June 7, 1957, in Neptune, New Jersey, Sheri lived a life marked by resilience, creativity, and devotion to her family and faith.
Sheri is lovingly remembered by her husband, Albert Lopez; her son Christopher Lopez, and wife Jennifer Lopez; her daughter, Jennifer Cirelli; her mother, Joyce Megill; her sisters, Vicki Quinn and Deborah Duchatkiewicz; and her brother, Donald Megill. She was a proud grandmother to Noah, Christopher, Rorey, Cole, Hunter, Bailey, Miley, Miranda, Lucas, and Carly. Sheri was predeceased by her father, Donald Megill, and her brother Kevin Megill.
A woman of quiet strength and enduring spirit, Sheri found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had a passion for crafts and sewing—skills she used not only as creative outlets but also as ways to bring warmth and beauty into the lives of those around her. Whether stitching an article of clothing or crafting something special for a loved one, Sheri’s handiwork reflected the care and thoughtfulness that defined her character.
Recently, bird watching was another of Sheri’s cherished pastimes. She found peace in observing nature’s rhythms and took delight in spotting familiar feathered visitors from season to season. She especially loved seeing yellow finches at her window. Her appreciation for the natural world was matched by her spiritual devotion. A faithful member of Wall United Methodist Church in Spring Lake, she attended Sunday services regularly and found comfort and community within its walls.
A memorial service celebrating Sheri’s life will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Wall United Methodist Church located at 2414 Old Mill Rd., Spring Lake, New Jersey 07762. The service will begin at 10:30 AM. A reception will follow in the church’s fellowship hall.
Sheri’s memory will live on through the love she shared with her family and friends and through the many lives she touched with her kindness and strength. May her memory bring comfort to all who knew her.
