Sherrine Mary Troncale-Rios
December 1, 1958 - February 3, 2026
Sherrine Troncale-Rios, 67, peacefully entered into rest on February 3, 2026 after battling cancer for nearly ten years. She was born in Los Angeles and lived with her parents and brothers. Her neighbors growing up were her aunt, uncle and three cousins and a very special family who became lifelong family friends. She attended Epiphany Catholic School in El Monte. As a teenager her family moved to Rowland Heights, California where Sherrine would live the majority of her life before moving to Lodi in 2025.
Beginning at a young age, Sherrine loved sports. Her Dad was a coach and the family spent many hours at basketball/baseball games and hosting open houses for all of the athletes. She followed her brother Anthony’s basketball team and brother Michael’s baseball team. She followed her nephew’s sports careers and recently saw her great nephew play basketball. For decades she followed sports on tv and would discuss games with her brothers and nephews. She and her husband enjoyed visiting stadiums and attending major league baseball games. She even traveled across the country to go the Hall of Fame induction of her favorite player, Mike Piazza.
Sherrine worked at Jacobs Engineering in Pasadena for 35 years making lifelong friends that she cherished. She loved baking, music, Disneyland, arts and crafts and shopping. She loved the color red, sparkly sunglasses, and her Santa hat. She made friends quickly in Lodi while living at Solstice and she enjoyed their many activities, adventures, and social events. She was a true dog lover having many fur babies over the years each with their own special place in her heart.
Sherrine was an inspiration to everyone she met and will be remembered for her unwavering faith. She was an active parishioner at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Rowland Heights. She approached her cancer diagnosis with the same strength that she lived her life. She loved her family and friends unconditionally and was always thinking of others. She was a daughter, a wife, an aunt, a sister, a Godmother and a true friend to many.
Sherrine was preceded in death by her husband (Anthony Rios) and her parents (Anthony P. & Josephine Troncale) and is survived by her brothers Tony Troncale (Dawn), Michael Troncale (Jennifer), nephews Anthony Troncale, Andrew Troncale and Daniel Troncale, her great nieces/nephews and her close cousins and friends.
