Sherri N. Marr, 62, of Florence, SC (formerly Naugatuck, CT), passed away unexpectedly at her home on January 21, 2024.

She was born September 9, 1961, in Westwood, NJ, daughter of Joyce Leland and the late Daniel Marr. Sherri attended Naugatuck High School and later pursued higher education at Stone Academy.

Throughout her career, Sherri worked as a former Peter Paul Hershey employee for over 20 years. She also served as a former bartender at Rosie's Bar & Grill and had been currently employed as a cook at Beyond Therapy Bar & Grill.

Sherri was a proud grandmother of three and loved being a grandma (meme) very much. She enjoyed visiting her family and friends in CT often. On weekends she enjoyed sightseeing and exploring Myrtle Beach, SC with her beloved mother. In her free time, she enjoyed selling her jewelry; and thrifting was a loved hobby of hers. Sherri enjoyed Harley-Davidson motorcycles and went to Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, SC throughout the years. She was a beautiful person inside and out, a true free-spirited mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She has touched so many with her kind-hearted personality and ability to always see the good in the world. She will forever be loved and missed.

Sherri is survived by her daughters Jessica Smalley (Jason) of Little River, SC, and Amber Munley (Kenny) of Naugatuck, CT.; her beloved grandchildren Jaysa Martin, Lauren Hayes, and Carter Martin. In addition to her daughters, she is survived by her mother, Joyce Leland of Myrtle Beach, SC; her siblings April (Marr) Adams of Little River, SC, Melissa Verrilli (Michael) of Naugatuck, CT, Travis Marr (Angela) of Zephyrhills, FL, and Amy Fink of Brooksville, FL. She will also be remembered by her Uncle Shawn Marr (Christine) and Aunt Julia Falciola along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and cousins.

Sherri was predeceased by her fiancé, Gordy Fargo, her father, grandparents, and an aunt and uncle.

A private celebration of Sherri’s life will be held by the family. In lieu of flowers and to honor Sherri's memory, donations can be made to the Humane Society.

The Grand Strand Funeral Home and Crematory in Murrells Inlet, SC, is honored to be assisting the family during this difficult time.
