Sheri Kathleen Siegel, 27, was called to eternal life by her heavenly 
fa-ther on January 29, 2012. A fiercely independent woman who conquered 
cancer, Sheri never al-lowed blindness to hold her back. Her devotion to God 
brought her a sense of purpose and an ability to persevere through any 
hardship. Despite blindness, Sheri pursued passions such as cooking, 
painting and pottery. She men-tored disabled children through the Buddy 
Break program, served in the National Federation of the Blind, and was an 
en-thusiastic member of the Young Adult Couples Group at Church of the Cross 
in Bradenton. Her determination to help others with vision impairment 
transcend blindness became the crux of her relationship with Tommy 
LaMontaine, the love of her life. Sheri helped Tommy overcome blindness by 
teaching him to be independent, and Tommy gave Sheri the fulfillment, 
happi-ness, and love she had prayed for throughout her life. Sheri is 
survived by her loving family from Bra-denton, including par-ents, Lee and 
Debbie Siegel; one grandmother, Betty Siegel; three sib-lings, Ashli Van 
Pelt (Jonathan), Brittni Man-zione (Gianmarc) and Kristofer Siegel 
(Beth-any); two nieces, Annie and Emelia; and boy-friend, Tommy LaMon-taine 
of Bradenton. She is preceded in death by grandparents, Robert and Shirlee 
Goble of Bradenton. A celebration of Sheri's life will be held at 2:00p.m. 
on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 at Northwest Baptist Church, 7913 9th Ave. NW, 
Bradenton. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that dona-tions be made to 
the Li-ons Club. Burial will be in Sky-way Memorial Gardens. Published in
