Obituary: Sheila Shane Herman

Sheila Shane Herman passed away on Saturday morning, Oct. 30, at the age of 90. She was born in New York on October 2, 1931, to Shirley and Murray Shane. She grew up in New York, where she met and married her true love, Al Herman, of blessed memory, after only 3 dates.

Her career was originally in advertising in New York City until she met Al and moved to Greensboro, N. C., where she worked with Al, raised a loving family, and had many friends. She was an avid mahjong player and in her younger years she devoted many volunteer hours to Beth David Synagogue Sisterhood. Sheila was a true fashionista who had a great eye for fashion, especially shoes. In 2016, Sheila moved to Atlanta, Ga., where she made new friends and a new life that she loved.

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Erica Herman of Greensboro, N. C., and her daughter and son-in-law Cathy and Ronny Miller of Atlanta, her brother Steve and Nancy Shane of Eagle, Colo., and her sister Lenore Laxer of New York, NY. She is also survived by her grandchildren Stuart (Deena) Miller, Amanda (Ryan) Enoch both of Atlanta, and Eliana Herman of Greensboro, N. C. Additionally, she is survived by many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Graveside services were held in Greensboro, N. C., where she was laid to rest next to her beloved “Al”.

The family is especially grateful for all the wonderful, caring staff at Berman Commons, where she was treated with kindness and loving support. A special thank you to Tomika (“T”), and Weinstein Hospice for the incredible care she always received.
