Sharri Gardner Storino, 80, of Watertown, NY, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2026, at the Carthage Area Hospital.

Sharri was born on October 8, 1946, the daughter of Robert E. and Selma L. (Selbe) Ammer. She graduated from Aiken High School in South Carolina in 1964.

In October 1967, she married Keith Gardner, and the couple made their home in Watertown. While raising her children, Sharri was a homemaker and worked as a hairdresser, both out of her home and at Oasis Hair Salon. She later pursued a career in real estate, spending the majority of her professional life as a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Watertown.

Her husband, Keith, passed away in 1987. On March 22, 1991, she married Joseph P. Storino in Texas. The couple resided in Texas for approximately 25 years before returning to Watertown in 2015.  The couple were blessed with a blended family and through their love for one another, their families became one.

Sharri enjoyed knitting, crocheting, baking, cooking, and a variety of arts and crafts, most of which she generously shared with family and friends. She was also involved with the Watertown American Legion and dedicated her time to volunteer work supporting mental health causes in both New York and Texas.
