If you knew Sheryl, you know she was a Professional Shopper. She would often have her friends accompany her on shopping trips, because she needed assistance carrying her goods from the store to the car. *Special Thanks to Nancy and Sandy
For a good laugh, friends could always count on Sheryl. Even strangers would get a kick out of her jokes and laughter. She always stopped in a grocery isle to compliment a lonely stranger, believing that you could make a huge difference in a person’s life, just by being kind.
Sheryl was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Darlene, and brothers Gary and Rory Westover.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Mike, her son, Roy (Elizabeth) Sears and grandson, Michael Robert of Pleasant Garden, NC; her daughter, Brandy Lea Sears of Greensboro, NC, brothers, Dennis Westover (Karen) of Milford, KS, Kevin Westover (Sally) of Junction City, KS, and sister, Jill Westover Cohen (Mike) of Libertyville, Ill.

Sheryl adored all animals, but dogs were definitely her favorite. She allowed her children to bring any animals home, knowing she would be the person taking care of them.
