Sherie Lee Koopersmith passed away peacefully on Friday, April 3, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was 79 years old.
She was born on January 13, 1947, in the Bronx, New York, to Abraham and Frances Sands, and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey.
Sherie met her husband Mike when she was only seventeen years old and they were married by the time she was twenty. Together they built a life filled with love. She supported Mike while he was in the U.S. Air Force in Wichita, Kansas, for three years. They moved to Northboro, Massachusetts, in 1972 to raise their family. They were a beautiful couple and the perfect example of true partnership and collaboration throughout the years. For the last 19 years Sherie and Mike have lived in Plymouth. This coming October they would have been married for 59 years.
Sherie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and a one-of-a-kind friend, including staying in close contact with her childhood friends from Teaneck. She always made time for her loved ones and truly cared for others. She was deeply involved in her family’s lives. She was always present, and never missed a phone call, activity, game or match. Once she became a grandmother, she embraced that role with the same devotion. “Grandma Sherie” adored each of her five grandchildren. And as she did with her sons, she could once again be found on the sidelines every weekend, cheering on her grandchildren with pride. She was always protective and caring. She loved her family unconditionally.
Her family and friends were a constant source of pride and happiness, and she cherished every moment with them. Sherie was the kind of friend everyone hopes to have. Thoughtful, loyal, and always present, she never forgot a birthday, milestone or even the smallest detail. She made others feel heard and offered honest, caring advice. She gave her love freely and was cherished. Her great smile brought warmth and light wherever she went.
Nothing brought Sherie greater joy than time spent with her two sons and their families. She is survived by her loving husband, Mike Koopersmith; son Adam Koopersmith and his wife, Elly; son Todd Koopersmith and his wife, Miti; five grandchildren, Rachel, Lauren, Elliot, Tyler and Mia; sister-in-law Annie Kingan and husband Bob Kingan and sister-in-law Michele Sands; extended family and countless friends.
Her family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and staff at Laurelwood at the Pinehills in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association. Graveside service will be at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, April 6 at Beit Olam East Cemetery, 42 Concord Road, Wayland, MA. The family welcomes family and friends after the service at 4 Squirrel Hill Road in Wayland.
