Sheree Kohler, 57
July 13, 2014
Sheree Kohler of Manheim Township, passed away after a second brave fight with ovarian cancer on July 13th. Sheree was born June 10, 1957 and recently celebrated her 57th birthday as well as her 27th wedding anniversary.
She graduated from McCaskey in 1975 and attended PSU where on a whim, she purchased an MGB. This eventually led to dating and marrying her part-time mechanic, Philippe Carier. Together, they settled in Sheree’s native Lancaster and raised two wonderful daughters, Jacquelyn and Jillian, surrounded by family and friends.
Sheree enjoyed many outdoor activities like gardening, planting trees and providing habitat and food for birds and squirrels; but nothing brought her as much joy as home-schooling her two beautiful daughters, supporting after school activities and spending time with family. As homeschooling wound down, she went back to work, first at Willow Valley Bakery as Lead Bakery Assistant and then at Clipper Magazine, where she enjoyed the company and friendship of many coworkers. A Kir Royale with her husband on special occasions was also on her top ten list. Her common sense, honesty and candor will be missed by all who knew her well.
She is survived by her husband, Philippe Carier; daughters, Jacquelyn and Jillian Carier of Lancaster. She is also survived by her mother, Joan (Welk) Kohler, sisters Desiree Kohler, Dawn Roth, and Valerie Kauffman all of Columbia, PA, and numerous nephews and nieces ; she was preceded in death by her father, Charles E. Kohler, Jr..
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Sheree’s memory to the YORK SPCA, 3159 Susquehanna Trail, York, PA 17406. Friends will be received on Saturday, July 19, 2014 from 1:30-2PM at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA with a Time Of Sharing to follow at 2PM. Interment will be private.

My former co-worker, Mary Jo and I both agreed in a recent conversation that Sheree was one of the nicest people we had ever met. What a kind and loving soul.
We kept in touch via Christmas cards and I knew from her letters and handwritten notes how much she loved her family.
I can’t imagine how much you’ll miss her, but know she left this world loving you.
My deepest sympathy, Matthew Stitzer

I came to know Sheree and her family thru a mutual friend. Even though I only saw her a handful of times over the years she was always so gracious, embracing, warm, quiet, beautiful, and amazing. As are her wonderful husband and fabulous daughters. I felt honored to be included in anything that happened with Sheree, Phil, Jacquelyn, and Jillian. Many are grieving with you and sending love, hope for comfort, and cosmic hugs. Peace and love grilfriend. Love Pam “The AP” Snader <3 <3 <3

Sheree and I went to school together. We were good friends in high school and I was so sorry to hear of her passing. I wish I would have kept in touch. We both homeschooled and I didn’t know that. We would have had so much in common. I’m so sorry for your loss. i remember her as being such a nice person and so smart too. Seems like I remember her being really good at science.

My thoughts are with Sheree’s family. She was such a wonderful person who brightened up my day at Clipper. I’ll never forget our conversations regarding micro organisms and what wine pairs best with what dish. I am grateful that I was able to know her and her beautiful personality.

Sorry for your loss. Still remember playing in the creek behind your house when we were little kids! Joan and my mom would always yell at us for being down there! Judy and my prayers are with your family during these trying times.
