Sherry O. Kennedy

BARRE – Sherry O. Kennedy, 62, of Morgan Lane passed away on Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at the Jack Byrne Center for Palliative and Hospice Care at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon, NH.

Born October 30, 1957 in Haverhill, NH, she was the daughter of Robert and Virginia (Davis) Osgood.

Sherry attended elementary school in Corinth and graduated from Oxbow High School in 1976.

On July 15, 1978 she married Dale M. Kennedy in Corinth. Following their marriage, they lived in a few different towns in Vermont before making their home in Barre.

Sherry worked in the healthcare field since the age of 16 and was a loving, caring, dedicated nurse’s aide. Most recently, she worked as a Licensed Nurses Aide at Woodridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. In 2015 she was recognized by the Vermont Health Care Association as outstanding LNA of the year.

When she was not caring for others, she was spending time with her family – especially loving and spoiling her grandson. Sherry also enjoyed cooking, gardening, and going to craft fairs and yard sales.

Survivors include her husband, Dale M. Kennedy; her daughters Katy Baker and her husband, Ryan; and Amanda Grearson and her husband, Geoff, all of Barre; her adopted daughter-in-law Anna Grearson; her grandson Asher Baker; her mother Virginia Osgood; four brothers; as well as her favorite niece Michele “Mickey” McLaughlin.

In addition to her father, she was predeceased by two brothers.

A private graveside service to honor and celebrate her life will be held at the convenience of her family. There are no calling hours.
