Sherry Lynn (Blackmore) Godin

Surrounded by the love of her family, Sherry Lynn (Blackmore) Godin passed away Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the age of 69, after a brief, but valiant, battle with cancer.

With her kind and caring personality, Sherry was a caregiver to those in need. She also worked for many years at the lobster processing plant, Barry Group in Neguac, and formed many long-lasting friendships. She was a hard worker and was well-loved.
