Mrs. Sharon Ann Trimboli

Sharon “Sherry” Ann Trimboli went home to Jesus on March 22, 2025 at age 63. She lived a life rooted in faith and her love for the Lord shone through in everything she did. She always placed and served others before herself with kindness and compassion. Sherry was born to Joseph and Joanna Tropea on July 21, 1961 in Rockledge, Florida. While attending school in Merritt Island, she excelled in varsity volleyball, softball, and basketball. Sherry loved flowers and became a talented arranger while working at a florist in high school. She attended the University of Central Florida and the Florida Institute of Technology, and earned a degree in computer science. While still in college, Sherry began working as a co-op at the Kennedy Space Center. She had a long, successful career there as a software engineer for the Space Shuttle main engines and was awarded the prestigious Silver Snoopy award for outstanding achievement. Sherry also had a passion for Snoopy and the Peanuts comic strip since she was a little girl. A lifelong Floridian, she enjoyed the beach, sea turtles, and collecting sea glass. In 1991, Sherry married the love of her life, Frank Trimboli, and went on to have two children, Nathan and Amy. She was a loving, devoted mom and left her KSC job when her second child was born to care for her children full time. When they attended Audubon Elementary, Sherry volunteered countless hours and was bestowed the Jefferson Award for Public Service. She was also a Lassie League softball coach and an Indian Maidens leader. Years later, when her daughter became a kindergarten teacher, she assisted her in and out of the classroom. When Sherry’s children were still in school, the space center asked her to come back to work, which she did until she retired at the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011 to become a full-time mom once again. Throughout her life, Sherry held many service roles at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island including: art teacher for the Calvary Chapel Christian School, Sunday school teacher, vacation bible school volunteer, and was a key contributor for the catering and kitchen services to feed the visiting pastors’ children during the annual pastors’ conference. She was incredibly artistic and helped paint the Sunday school classroom murals that are still there today. Two years ago, Sherry became a grandmother and one of her greatest joys in life was hugging and doting on her granddaughter, Annabelle. Sherry is greatly missed, but we fondly remember her smile, her sweet demeanor, and her great love for God, family, and friends. We rejoice in knowing that she is in the presence of the Lord. Sherry joins her father, Joseph, and brother-in-law, Steven Anderson, in heaven. She is survived by many loving family members, including her husband of 34 years, Frank of Cocoa, FL; son Nathan of Orlando, FL; daughter Amy (Stephen) Pitre and granddaughter Annabelle of Manassas, VA; mother Joanna Tropea of Merritt Island, FL; sister Beverly Anderson of Cocoa, FL; brother Raymond (Joyce) Tropea of Nokesville, VA; brother Stephen (Tina) Tropea of Moncks Corner, SC; as well as many nieces and nephews. Sherry’s celebration of life is 4pm, April 4, 2025 at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Calvary Chapel Merritt Island Children’s Ministry.
