Thinking and praying for Sherry’s family. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. She was such a special friend to me all through school and I was so happy we reunited over the last few years . Oh how she loved her family… her girls and grandchildren and her siblings . She will be missed but you will feel her love always.
You were like a mom to me and I’m going to miss you more then you know.
I recently met Sherry at bingo at Keywood from a friend to hers. It was nice to get to know her and having some laughs and fun there. So sorry for the families lost she will be missed.❤️ RIP
Sherry and I met thru our daughters in nursery school . We enjoyed many a cup of coffee at my house or hers . Talked bout kids family and dreams . She even took me to her sister in laws to get my hair cut because she raved how good she cut hair . Went out to lunch and had a ball that day. Went to the lake with the kids across from my house and just enjoyed the day. So sorry we lost touch .
Sherry was a gentle & kind person. She was friendly with everyone and always willing to volunteer her time to her church and living community. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Rest in peace Sherry!
My favorite memory with Sherry is when we went to see “Mark Schultz” in concert at the Seaside Pavilion in OOB. We were joined by our sisters and had a wonderful evening. I will miss seing your smiling face.
Her family! They loved and cared for her to the very end. She loved you!
Sherry was wonderful to me when I became a new neighbor. She made me feel right at home in the community. And she was a dear friend when I was still attending services at FBC. My love to family with thoughts of peace and beautiful memories.
We will miss you Aunt Sherry. Love, Laura, Kevin, Grace, Kaitlyn & Sydney
I will miss my Aunt Sherry everyday. Aunt Sherry was so loving and kind. She was so special to me and I will miss our tea time talks around my parent’s kitchen table. Aunt Sherry was so funny and I have so many fun memories of us dancing and laughing at everything! Aunt Sherry loves movies and was so smart she could have won Jeopardy! RIP my sweet Aunt love you ❤️
Sherry, you cast a great light in everything you touched.
We are all so saddened to have Sherry leave us, but we have great faith that she is in a better, beautiful place. We will forever miss her.
It would be hard to know Sherry without recognizing her generous acts of kindness and willingness to help others in any way.
Sherry is my baby sister.
Sherry loved being involved with her church, family, and friends.
Good Sunday morning, Sherry.
Miss you so much.
My thoughts & prayers are with Sherry’s family during this difficult time. May you remember & share the wonderful memories of Sherry’s life today & always.
Sherry & I graduated from St Stephen High School in 1970. Then we attended our “late” 50th HS Reunion in Aug 2022. It was so nice to see Sherry & chat with her after all those years. A wonderful memory! 🩷
