POTSDAM – Mrs. Sherry J. (White) Leclerc, 69, died on Monday (1/21/2013) at her home.
She was born on September 11, 1943 in Potsdam, the daughter of the late Robert E. Sr. and Winona Carpenter White. She attended schools in St. Regis Falls. On October 12, 1962, she married Robert J. Leclerc, Sr. in Malone; the marriage later ended in divorce.
She was the owner and operator of Potsdam Answering Service. She began working there in 1986 with the previous owners, John and Kay Colish, before buying the business in 1990.
