Sherry Ann Larke

Sherry Ann Larke, 90, of Kokomo, Indiana, and also a resident of Floral City, Florida, passed away on October 19, 2025, at HCA Florida Citrus Hospital in Inverness, Florida, surrounded by her loving family.

Born May 22, 1935, in Indianapolis, she was the daughter of Woodrow Marshall Duncan and Pearl (Spaulding) Duncan. Sherry married the love of her life, James Larke, and together they shared 35 wonderful years of marriage.

One of Sherry’s greatest joys was riding her Harley alongside her husband. She also loved crocheting, knitting, and embroidery. A devoted fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays, and Notre Dame, Sherry never missed a game. She also loved watching The Lawrence Welk Show, often singing and smiling along with the music. Above all, she cherished spending time with her family, who brought her endless happiness.

She is survived by her daughters, Jenni Ortman (Todd) and Salena Catron (Linke); her son, Brad Kauffman (Penny); and her stepdaughter, Vikki Guerre (Bill). She was a proud grandmother to Krista Holman, Kyle Walker, Parks Ortman, Danielle, Samantha, Nina, and Lukas Kauffman, Billy, Abby, Anna, and Maggie Guerre; and a loving great-grandmother to Joshua and Kolten Miller, and Hayden, Quinn, and Skye Walker.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Woodrow Marshall Duncan and Pearl (Spaulding) Duncan; her daughter, Bobbi A. Booth; and her siblings Marlene, Charlene, Jackie, and Kenny.

Sherry will be remembered for her adventurous spirit, generous heart, and the love she shared with everyone around her.
