On the evening of February 13, Sherlynn LeRoy of Dayton, OH, died at the age of 62. Sherlynn was the lifelong partner of American Academy of Family Physicians Past President Gary LeRoy, MD, who is also an OAFP past president.
Sherlynn was born in Pahokee, FL, to Addrine Baldwin on March 11, 1959. She was raised by her great-aunt & uncle, the Rev. & Mrs. Douglas Dean in Dayton along with her beloved sister, Laverne Dean. Sherlynn raised two daughters, Julia Prince & Ciara LeRoy, with her lifelong partner, Dr. LeRoy. She was a dedicated employee at Victoria’s Secret Direct in Kettering, OH, for 20 years.
Sherlynn’s greatest passion in life was her family. Her ingredients for a perfect Saturday night were a family meal, a cocktail in one of her perfectly manicured hands, and her granddaughter Eloise’s joyous shrieks of laughter. Secondary to her love of family, was her love of shopping, designer handbags, and being pampered—passions her daughters will gladly assume and carry on.
In addition to Julia, Ciara, and Dr. LeRoy, Sherlynn is survived by her granddaughter, Eloise; sisters, Kat and Pam Baldwin; and niece and nephew Toccara and Torian Dean. She is preceded in death by her mother Addrine, great-aunt & uncle, Johnnie Mae & Douglas, and her sister, Laverne.
Services were held at H.H. Roberts Mortuary on February 21.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley.
The OAFP has made a memorial gift in her memory to the OAFP Foundation.
