Charleen Ann Griemsman's Obituary
Charleen Griemsman, fondly known as “Sherry”, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2025, in Milford, Delaware.
Sherry grew up in Beach Haven, New Jersey, and lived in Virginia and Cape Cod, MA before moving to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware in 2001. She worked as a stockbroker and assistant to the publisher of the Washington Star newspaper before finding her true calling as a Registered Nurse. She dedicated more than 40 years to nursing and achieved advanced certification as a Registered Emergency Nurse and Critical Care Registered Nurse. Sherry was also a volunteer EMS Lieutenant and EMT-Cardiac with the Bailey’s Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department in Virginia.
Sherry truly loved life. She loved to listen to a variety of music, from classical music to pop tunes from the 70’s, and attend concerts and musical theater. She also loved to cheer for the Orioles and Shorebirds. She was a voracious reader and member of a local book club. She cared for everyone, from strangers on the roadside to her closest family members. The unconditional love and support she gave throughout her life was immense, and she will be missed in more ways than one.
Sherry is survived by her devoted husband, Glenn Luedtke; stepdaughters Deborah and Wendy; step-granddaughters Eliza and Maddy; her brother Rick and sister-in-law Sharon; her beloved nephew Charles; and her German Shepherd Mira.
