Sherry K.

Dietz

In loving memory of Sherry K. Dietz, who was born on January 24, 1943, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and passed away on November 7, 2026. Sherry was a cherished daughter of the late Anthony and Charlotte Stahley and leaves behind a legacy as a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She will forever be remembered in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Sherry is now reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, the late Raymond Dietz Jr., with whom she shared 61 years of marriage filled with joyous memories, including countless evenings dancing the jitterbug. Together, they forged a life rich in family and friendship. As a devoted mother, Sherry leaves her daughters Carrie (Scott) Smith, Raymond A "Butch" Dietz III, and Laura (Jerry) Walters, who carry forward the love and values she instilled. She was incredibly proud of her grandchildren: Sarah (Ray) Seals, Maria (Rob) Honsaker, Scott "Robby" (Julie) Smith, Anna Smith, Amanda Conkey, and Nicole Conkey. Her heart grew even larger with the love for her eight great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy. Sherry was also a dear sister to Charlene (late Bob) Carter, Carmen (late Bert) Schulte, Susanne (David Ryan) Stahley, Sandy Feddersen, and Tony Stahley. Sherry will forever hold a special place in the hearts of her family, as her memory will live on through stories filled with love and laughter.

A true nature lover, Sherry found solace in the beauty of the outdoors. She delighted in tending to her garden and could identify 318 different types of birds, often traveling near and far to witness their splendor. Her dedication extended to volunteering at the zoo for 50 years, where she acted as a tour guide, sharing her passion for animals and inspiring many with her stories. While she loved cheering for the Cincinnati Reds, it was her role as a homemaker that brought her the greatest joy, as she nurtured her family with unwavering love and care.

Friends and family are invited to honor Sherry's remarkable life during a visitation at St. Ann Church, located at 2900 W Galbraith Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45239, on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 11:00 AM until the time of the Funeral Service, which will begin at 12:00 PM. This gathering will be a moment to come together in prayer and reflection, celebrating Sherry's beautiful journey through life and sharing the stories that exemplify her strong spirit, compassion, and unwavering love.

In this time of remembrance, let us hold Sherry's memory close, keeping alive the laughter, love, and joy she brought into our lives.
