Sheryle Henson was a loving partner, sister, and friend to many. She died unexpectedly on
August 13, 2023. Sheryle was humble, strong and devoted her time and energy to the people in
her life. Sheryle could be found riding around on the ranch in a pickup truck with her partner of
22 years, Bill Chiala (in exchange for a latte from Starbucks), taking her step-grandchildren on
local adventures; celebrating the life stages of her family members; and brightening family
gatherings and reunions with her brothers, Jerry and Craig Henson, her cousins, aunts and
uncles. Sheryle truly lived a people-centered life. While we are shaken by this sudden loss, we
are comforted by Sheryle's example. She had a rare sense for the important things in life and
wasted little time on the superficial. She left us with a permanent and everlasting bond of love.
Sheryle lives on through her brother, Jerry Henson and his wife, Lisa Henson and their
daughter, Alexis; through her brother, Craig Henson and his wife, Darlene Henson and their
daughter, Deanna Zamora; through her partner, Bill Chiala, Bill's children, Vito Chiala, his wife
Lucy Chiala and their daughter, Siena; Gina Chiala, Alisha Mazzucco, her husband Rico and
their children, Giovanni, and Giancarlo, as well as countless others. She was preceded in death
by her beloved parents, Evelyn and Melvin Henson.
