SHERREE DOMINGUEZ
1981 - 2026
Sherree Dominguez, a lifelong resident of Santa Maria, passed away leaving a legacy of laughter, kindness, and unconditional love. Born on November 8, 1981, to Gregorio Dominguez and Belinda Garcia, Sherree was a fixture in her community—from her days playing sports at Santa Maria High to her 14-year career as a bookkeeper.
Sherree’s passion for life was infectious. A talented baker and cake decorator at Foodmaxx and Albertson’s, she took equal joy in coaching youth sports and playing adult softball and dodgeball. Sherree wasn’t just a parent; she was our greatest ally and our favorite source of chaos. She replaced judgment with understanding and lectures with laughter, creating a world where we felt completely safe to be our truest selves. To her, we weren’t just her children—we were her entire universe, and that unconditional love was the gravity that held everything together.
She moved through the world with a permanent, kind smile, treating every stranger like a friend she just hadn't met yet. Whether she was checking in on someone at the grocery store or standing fiercely in our corner, her heart was always wide open. She taught us that being "ordinary" was overrated, and that a little bit of kindness and a lot of silliness could light up any room.
She is survived by her children: Elena (27), Analicia (24), Sebastian (22), Aurora (9), and Kalian (3); her beloved granddaughter, Ellyana (4 Months); her mother, Belinda; and siblings Gregory Jr. (47), Sireena (37), and Jade (28); her nephew Gabriel (22); her nieces Jasmine (19) and Anaya (6). She joins her father, Gregorio, and niece, Nevaeh, in peace.
A viewing will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at Magner-Maloney Funeral Home at 4 PM. Services will be held from 5 PM to 7 PM. Burial will take place Friday, March 13, 2026 at Guadalupe Cemetery at 11AM with a celebration of life from 3 PM - 7 PM at the Veterans’ Memorial Community Center in Santa Maria.
The family extends their deepest gratitude to the first responders who cared for her and to the community for "having her children's backs” during this difficult time, just as Sherree always did.
