Sheryl Lorraine (Harder) Kenworthy was a loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her life was defined by kindness, generosity, and an unwavering devotion to the people she loved.
Born in Grand Island, Nebraska, Sheryl spent her early years there before her family eventually moved to Omaha. She later attended school in Ralston, Nebraska, where she continued building the life and relationships that would shape her future.
Sheryl dedicated much of her professional life to Union Pacific Railroad, where she worked as a Manager of Account Practices. She took pride in her work and the responsibilities she carried throughout her career.
But above all else, Sheryl's greatest accomplishment was the love she gave to her family.
Outside of family, Sheryl enjoyed her Red Hat luncheons, Bunco, volunteering at her church, reading, and watching movies. She also enjoyed the little things in life, including candles, lotions, and skincare products. Whether through a home-cooked meal, a thoughtful gesture, or simply making sure someone was doing okay, Sheryl had a gift for making others feel loved.
Her kindness was never something she needed to announce. It was simply who she was.
Sheryl was preceded in death by her late husband Michael, her parents Marlow and Nettie Harder; her brother, Leonard Harder; and her brother-in-law Al Kennedy.
She is survived by her sons, Travis and Kade (Talyn), her beloved granddaughters, Kenzlee and Remmi; and many nieces and nephews.
Her family will forever cherish the memories, traditions, lessons, and unconditional love she gave them. Though her absence will be deeply felt, the kindness she shared and the love she poured into her family will continue through the generations she leaves behind.
She will be loved, missed, and remembered always.
