Obituary
MADISON - Sheryl Ann Low of Madison, passed away unexpectedly in Manitowoc, on Saturday, Dec.15, 2018. She was born on April 28, 1955, in San Francisco, the eldest daughter of Barbara and George Harvey. Sheryl grew up in Erie, Pa., and spent most of her adult life in the Madison area. She volunteered as an emergency medical technician and worked as an UW Med Flight dispatcher for many years. Sheryl was a fiercely loving mother, a kind and caring sister and friend, and the best and silliest Nana ever. She was tender-hearted, yet snarky, generous and grateful, and a free spirit until her last days. She loved gladiolas, thunderstorms, blues music, eggs benedict, cuddling the babies and kids she babysat and loved like family, laughing with friends, and spoiling her granddaughter. Sheryl is survived by her daughter, Carissa Low (Niki Kittur); four sons, Brandon, Taylor, Jordan, and Cavan Low; sisters, Kim Lawson and Wendy Benson; brothers, David and Jimmy (Tina) Gabbard; many dear nieces, nephews, and friends; and her beloved granddaughter and light of her life, Ashima Kittur. She was preceded in death by her parents. A memorial service will be held at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 5203 Monona Drive, Madison from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 23, 2018. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Children’s Defense Fund at www.childrensdefense.org. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

During Sheryl’s short time in Manitowoc she became a wonderful addition to our group of friends that get together for breakfast on Sunday mornings. Her soft voice, good humor, and warm hugs will be missed by all of us. Our condolences to Sheryl’s family for your loss of this loving, caring person.

Sheryl is my big sister, she practically raised me the first few years of my life. She is in all of my earliest memories as a child. She was always there for me in every way, she was my world. My thoughts and prayers are for her children, she loved you all so much, you were her world and she was always so proud of you. She will be missed, but always in our hearts..... Jimmy Gabbard
