Sheila Marie Clute

Sheila Marie (Gentry) Clute, 59, of Orwell, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 1, 2026, with her daughters by her side.

Sheila was born on September 27, 1966, in Warren, OH, to Luther and Irene (Toppings) Gentry. She was a graduate of Grand Valley High School and carried with her a strong sense of family, kindness, and simple joys throughout her life.

Sheila is also survived by her siblings, Randy (Lisa) Gentry of Andover, OH, and Joseph (Tiffany) Gentry of Cowpens, SC, as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her life partner, Michael Grinaldi; her parents, Luther and Irene Gentry; her grandparents, Luther and Ina Gentry; and her brother, Jeffrey Gentry.
