The Allen family is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Sherry Allen on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at St. Peter’s Hospital. She is survived by her daughter Renee (Kevin), sisters Linda Pettinato and Donna Palella, brother Billy (Kathy), nephews Roger Pettinato (Joanne) and Carmen Palella as well as great aunt to Nicky, Joey and Katie.
Sherry is predeceased by her parents, William and Shirley Allen and nephews, Dante Palella (Pip) and Philip Pettinato.
Sherry shared a very loving bond with her daughter and best friend Renee. She was a long-time employee of 43 years with the New York State Thruway Authority. She was a force to be reckoned with at the office and will be greatly missed by her co-workers. Sherry was a feisty individual who very much lived on her own terms. Sherry enjoyed regular trips to see her daughter in Canada, summer vacations in Cape Cod and more recently, a trip around the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. She loved her Sundays of NFL football and watching golf.
The family expresses sincere thanks to the staff of St. Peter’s, especially the nurses on the Critical Care unit and the hospice unit for their care and compassion.
