Sheryl Rae Andler

A loving mother and grandmother

Sheryl Rae (Dotseth) Andler, age 74, passed away following a courageous battle with dementia on April 26, 2026.

Born on October 23rd, 1951 in Clarkfield, MN to Erling and Patricia (Feist) Dotseth. She graduated from Clarkfield High School in 1969 and moved to the Twin Cities to pursue a nursing career.

She met Edward Andler in 1971 while employed at Abbott Northwestern Hospital; they were married in Clarkfield on August 12, 1972. Later, they moved to Wyoming, MN until retirement, when a lake home in Aitkin, MN caught their eye.

Sheryl enjoyed gardening, sewing, quilting, and reading. She loved visiting craft fairs with her sisters and friends, preparing tasty desserts with her grandsons, and spending time with her animals - you could often find her walking any number of her dogs throughout her life.

Sheryl is survived by her son, Jamie "Jay" Andler, and his wife, Lori Andler; her two grandsons, Ethan Andler and Aidan Andler; and her siblings: Ronald (Lynnette) Dotseth, Lorie (Gary) Kidrowski, Pam (Jeff) Zurn, Lisa Dotseth and sister-in-law Debbie Munson. She is also survived by three aunts and many loving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward Andler; her in-laws, Marion and Matt Kyllonen, and the late Edward Andler; her father, Erling Dotseth, and his wife, Joanne; her mother, Pat Dotseth; and her brother, David Dotseth.
