Sheryl Marie Dillon

Sheryl Dillon, age 75, of Grand Rapids, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 3, 2020. Sheryl was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her motto in life “Spread love wherever you go; let no one come to you without being happier” was felt by all those who interacted with her including family, friends, co-workers and residents that she cared for. She worked at Clark Retirement at Keller Lake for 23 years where the residents were considered part of her family. When she wasn’t working and caring for people, she would be found walking, riding her bike, or playing tennis. She will be lovingly remembered by her three children, Shelley and Jeff Pratt, Courtney and Kevin Merriss Prange, and Justin and Christi Merriss; grandchildren, Tanner and Amy Pratt, Nathan and Amelia Pratt, Olivia Merriss, and Hailey Merriss; great-grandchildren; Holden Pratt, and Raegan Pratt, and seven grand dogs, sister; Patricia Whittington, and several nieces and nephews. Private family funeral services will be held 2 pm Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home, 4646 Kalamazoo Ave. SE, Kentwood, with Rev. Don Van Slyke officiating.
