Sherri Celani Obituary

Sherri L. Celani, 57 of Coventry, passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 6, 2025. She was the beloved companion of John Ray III. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late August and Beverly (Studley) Celani.

Besides her husband she is survived by her children, Brandon M. Ray of Coventry and Caitlin G. Celani of West Warwick and her beloved granddaughter, Novara J. Celani. She also leaves her sister and brothers, Deborah Thivierge of Coventry, Steven Celani of Smithfield, Kelly Celani of West Warwick, and the late William (Celani) Cummings of Austin, Texas.

Sherri was employed for several years at the Restaurant Depot before retiring due to illness. Sherri will be remembered for her fierce loyalty, her generous spirit, and her joyful, infectious laugh that could light up any room.

She was the heart and foundation of her family, and her home was always filled with the delicious scent of her cooking.

Sherri was a long-time pool player, an avid supporter of the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins, and loved spending time on the golf course. Her unwavering love and dedication will be missed by all who knew her.
