Sherri-Lynn Smyrski

1979 ~ 2020

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved daughter Sherri-lynn Smyrski, who passed away in her home Saturday, December 12 in the morning. She was 41 years old, and she left behind her mother Janice and father David Smyrski, grandparents Dolores and Ewald Knopf, uncle and aunty Ron and Donna Knopf, cousins Travis and wife Brittney Knopf, Jenna and husband Lyle Otto, and many relatives and many, many friends.

Sherri was born and raised in Lac du Bonnet, going to the public schools and graduating 1998. She was a super hard worker, usually maintaining 2-3 jobs at a time. She loved to meet new people, making new friends, keeping old friends and partying hard. She always lit up a room with her bright smile, always making everyone around her feel comfortable and full of laughs. She will be remembered for her zest for life, her favourite verse “Live, Laugh, Love, her frequent use of the f-word and her love for butterflies.

She loved many friends and family, but her children were always her dogs Shilo and Capone, both rescues that she took a lot of pride in. She will also be remembered for her feisty nature, strength and devotion. She confronted many challenges throughout her life and fought hard to overcome these.  We have all been strengthened by her vibrant will and her vast character.

We will be having a gathering of family and friends after the pandemic is over in honor of Sherri. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Winnipeg Humane Society in honour of her will be much appreciated.
