Sherry had a major influence on me and my market research career. She was constantly supportive, encouraged me and provided me with access to opportunities that I wouldn't have had without her. She was a mentor, friend, and an extremely bright and fierce advocate. Rest in peace, Sherry. And thank you for everything. Lisa

Sherry was a true friend and mentor, and I feel fortunate to have known and worked with her for so many years. We first met in the late 90s when I was one of her clients, and from that moment on, she became someone I could always count on — thoughtful, generous, and genuinely supportive.

She encouraged me to join PMRG and later Intellus, and she never hesitated to connect me with people or opportunities when I needed them most. That was Sherry — always lifting others, always creating community wherever she went.

What I will remember most is her gift for bringing people together and her willingness to speak up when it mattered. You always knew when Sherry was at a conference — her unmistakable voice, her laughter, and her energy filled the room, whether she was sharing an idea or helping someone think through a challenge.

Along with so many in our community, I will miss her deeply.
RIP, Sherry.

To Sherry's Family,

I worked with Sherry over +20 years in MR Animal Health and Pharma industries with both the Planning Shop and The Collaborative.  She was one of the best in the industry with her warm spirit/energy, creativity and innovative approaches.  I considered her a dear friend and colleague.  With my recent job change we had not spoken over the past year.  I am deeply saddened to hear about her passing.  I am so sorry to hear you are going through this difficult time.  Sending deepest sympathy and strength right now.

Sherry and I met through the Healthcare Businesswomen's association when there was that single NYC Metro Chapter; that has to be 30+ years ago. I am sad at having to accept that we will no longer be in each other's orbit. Sherry had a huge personality, she was an innovative and creative thinker who always added to anything on which she worked. I am sorry that I did not even know she was battling illness and am grateful that I have learned of her passing. I am also grateful to have known her. I will always hear her laugh in my head.

I had the honor of serving on the Intellus Board of Directors with Sherry. She brought endless energy and enthusiasm to the Board and became a partner and a friend. Sherry never said no to anything asked of her and stood out as a shining example of what it means to serve as a volunteer. I am so happy that I got to see her last September at the Intellus Institute and see her win the well-deserved  Clement Fordyce Lifetime Achievement Award.

I will miss Sherry!

It is hard to write these notes, because when someone has the energy and personality that Sherry had, it seems that words on a page are hollow. Sherry and I first met at a PMRG conference in Philadelphia in the spring of 1987. We were both babies in the pharma market research industry, found each other in this new and scary environment and bonded quickly . We remained good friends and colleagues for almost 40 years--and for the past five years business partners in her wonderful brainstorm called The Collaborative.  It is these last five years that I will remember most fondly.  We are so sad that she lost this last battle--I think we all thought that if anyone would make it through, it would be Sherry. My wife Judy and I send our thoughts and good wishes to Steve and the rest of the family. RIP Sherry.

Sherry was a longtime champion for pharma/biotechnology market research and an advocate for the industry.  Her leadership across several organizations and institutions left an indelible mark on the industry, and for the better.  May her memory be for a blessing.

I was very sad to hear about Sherry's passing. We knew each other from working at Intersearch Corporation, a market research company in Jenkintown then Horsham, PA.  She was vivacious and a go-getter then.  Steve, my sincere sympathy to you and the rest of your family.
RIP Sherry.

So heartbroken to hear of Sherry's passing.  She was a kind and strong woman who did all things is life with a fierce passion.  She will surely be missed.

My deepest condolences to Sherry's family.

I was so sorry to hear about Sherry.  I spent most of my early  pharmaceutical market research career with Sherry - first as her client and then as a colleague at Kelly Waldron.  She taught me the importance of listening and understanding the client's needs and objectives BEFORE designing the appropriate methodology. I would never have been able to start my own consulting business if it wasn't for Sherry.  

Sending heartfelt condolences to Steve, Pamela and the rest of family.

I did not get an opportunity to spend much time with Sherry, but in the brief time I did I could tell she was a force of nature.  I sat next to her and her husband at a dinner sponsored by The Collaborative and I had such a wonderful time speaking with both of them. She will be missed.

Knowing and working with Sherry was a true gift. Her passion and commitment and never ending zeal is a true picture of what it means to “always be in the game”.  

As a long time colleague, Sherry and I had many conversations about the pressing issue of the day or what needed to happen to solve and move forward. Without question she was focused on making the solution a reality……but, much more than that, she never wavered from solving the right way and ensuring all were treated fairly .

We, our industry, and I was given a gift by having Sherry in our lives and for that blessing, I am very grateful.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sherry, her family and all of those she touched.

Oh my gosh, what a loss to the Pharma Insight industry as well as the world in general

Sherry was a force of nature with a big personality as well.

I knew and worked with Sherry for many years.  She was quite the vibrant and colorful individual.

My favorite Sherry story concerns business travel -

I was in an airport lounge in Berlin, Germany.  Suddenly i heard that unmistakeable laugh.

I knew exactly who it was - and Sherry was delighted to see me.

She was very kind and supportive when I was downsized and used the 2023 Intellus meeting in Philly as an opportunity to introduce me to her broad network.

She was a legend.  I'm so lucky to have know her and consider her a friend. She will be greatly missed

Sherry was beyond dynamic, VERY generous, a font of enthusiasm... and better than pretty much EVERYBODY at sparking and implementing great innovations at the intersections of different streams... of thought, action, products, services and more.  I miss you already, Dear Sherry... and I know your family and many communities were SO blessed by you.

The travel industry will also be in mourning for a long, long time.

I will never forget the whirlwind study Sherry & I fielded in 5 countries, in 7 languages, two indications, with community cardiologists and 3 cardiology specialties.  It was something like 75 interviews to organize and then observe in just 2 weeks in the field!  Her innovative techniques for everything from recruiting to interviewing to analyzing to presenting helped bring my team to very practical insights that drove effective market strategies.  And we had great food all along the way... even finding a hour to tour Versailles Palace!  What a woman!

Dear Steve, I have just learnt of Sherry's 'move to heaven'...I am truly saddened , I have such lovely memories of her : she knew how to make an entrance and  you could not miss her wherever she was in a room...She was also so very kind and compassionate, and a very generous  human being  !! She gave so much on all levels to those around her !   I feel for you and your family.  Truly ! We will all  miss her greatly...RIP, Sherry. Much love, Giulia

I am so very sorry to hear of Sherry’s passing - we shared many good times together at industry events.  Sherry was a big personality who passionately cared about Pharma MR.  Sending condolences to Steve and her whole family- may your memories provide comfort at this difficult time, and may Sherry’s soul be eternally blessed.

I feel overwhelmingly appreciative that I had the opportunity to work so closely with Sherry, first when I was with Novartis, then later with Merck, where we collaborated on many, many projects together and created innovative solutions, all coming from Sherry's thoughtful and creative talents. Sherry was also a great supporter and I worked with her when I was Co-President of Intellus Worldwide when we launched the new organization. I remember in particular the opening meeting celebratory ball, it was magnificent! Although it was years ago I was literally just telling someone about that evening a few weeks ago, it was that great, and Sherry spear-headed it all. We all knew that if Sherry put her mind to something it was going to be accomplished. Sherry was one of my favorite people to work with over my 30 years in the industry. I also considered her a friend and I would call Sherry when needing advice on shore homes, or when my wife was laid off from her job and needed advice. My sincere condolences and my prayers to your family during this difficult time.  Jeff Jamer

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Sending care and condolences to Sherry's family.

Sherry was truly a force in the healthcare insights community. She was a dynamo whose energy, generosity, and ability to bring people together left a lasting mark on so many of us. She had a rare gift for connecting people and ideas, always reminding us that we go farther together.

She will be deeply missed, both professionally and personally. My heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with her.

It is with a heavy heart that I learned of Sherry's passing. She was not simply a client — over the course of 25 years, she became someone I genuinely valued and respected.

Sherry brought such professionalism and warmth to every interaction, and working alongside her was truly a privilege. Her absence will be deeply felt by all who had the good fortune of knowing her.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

With sincere sympathy,

Sherry was always there with a warm smile and kind encouragement for newcomers at PBIRG and later Intellus. I have such fond memories of the time we spent celebrating together at the PBIRG/Intellus event in Boca. She will be deeply missed. Rest in peace.

I had the privilege of knowing Sherry for more than 20 years through the Intellus community, and she made an impression that I will carry with me always. While I didn’t know her well at first, over time—and especially more recently—I came to truly appreciate just how special she was.

Sherry had a remarkable presence. She listened, she showed up, and she helped—consistently and generously. She was also someone who made sure her voice was heard. She wasn’t afraid to speak up, to push, and to challenge things when it mattered. That kind of courage made a difference, and it’s something I deeply admired about her.

What stands out most is how she connected people. She had a natural instinct for bringing others together, helping people find answers, support, and direction—both professionally and personally. She was a mentor to many, a trusted colleague, and a friend.

For over 20 years, she was such a constant and important part of the Insights and Analytics community. Even now, her presence is still with us—in the relationships she built, the conversations she sparked, and the impact she had on so many of us.

Please know how much she meant to all of us in the Intellus community, and how lasting her impact will be. She will not be forgotten.

My sincerest condolences to Sherry's family and her colleagues.  She was a strong contributor to pharma market research and Intellus Worldwide.  She will be missed by many.

Dear Steve and Sherry's family,

Sherry was an amazing force in our industry, and a wise and caring mentor. When Sherry was in the room, the heads turned: everyone felt her positive energy and her limitless drive. When she came up with an idea, people immediately trusted, supported, and were eager to contribute and take it forward. Sherry had a brilliant mind, and a heart full of respect and love for others. 

I will miss Sherry so very much.

Sherry was a great force in the marketing research world; her hard work and leadership at Intellus Worldwide will be missed.

Dear Steve, Pamela, Ryan, Rylee, Bryce, and Family:
I was deeply saddened to hear of Sherry's passing. For more than 30 years, I had the privilege of knowing her not only as a trusted colleague, but as a true friend.

Sherry brought integrity, wisdom, and warmth to every interaction. Whether in business or in life, she had a way of making people feel valued and understood. I will always be grateful for the years we shared, the lessons learned, and the many moments of laughter and camaraderie.

She leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond professional accomplishments – one defined by character, generosity, and lasting relationships. I will miss her dearly.

Please know that my thoughts and those of my partner (who also knew Sherry professionally)  are with you all during this difficult time. May her memory be a blessing.

With heartfelt sympathy, Camille DeSantis and Rene Hadley
