Sherri Feldman was a cherished founding member of Porto Kind and our first Treasurer.
Sherri was there at the beginning, when Porto Kind was still an idea fueled by hope, determination, and a shared belief that we could make a difference. She brought her steady presence, thoughtful questions, and deep commitment to building something meaningful and lasting. Many of the systems and practices we still rely on today exist because of Sherri’s care, foresight, and willingness to do the work that often happens quietly behind the scenes.
Just as memorable as her contributions was the way Sherri showed up as a person. She was known for her never-ending smile, her positive outlook, and her ability to meet even the most challenging moments with humor and grace. Sherri used laughter to face adversity, and that warmth drew people to her. She was known as a creative person, frequently found with a crochet hook in her hand as was also playfully competitive and took great joy in games of all kinds—bringing energy, connection, and a sense of fun wherever she went.
We will remember Sherri for her generosity of spirit, her passion for our mission, and the kindness she showed to everyone she interacted with. She believed deeply in Porto Kind and in the people who make up this community, and her influence continues to be felt in ways both large and small.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sherri’s family, friends, and loved ones.
With gratitude and remembrance,
The Board of Directors
