Sherry was a very loving, sweet and kind-hearted woman. When she greeted you with a hug, you could feel the love. She was quiet but she had a sense of humor that would catch you off guard many times. She loved a good laugh. Whether you knew her as Sherry, SherrAnn, Auntie Sherry, Ms. Sherry or any other name, you knew her to be a selfless person. She was always looking out for others before herself. She had such a beautiful spirit and will truly be missed by all.
Sherry loved the Lord and had strong faith which was never more evident than in recent weeks. No matter the situation, she trusted God and wanted those she loved to do the same. Her faith carried her through until she departed this life on Thursday, April 20, 2023.
