Sherry lived her life to the absolute fullest. She had a heart of gold. She loved life, mostly her family and friends, and was loved by all. However, her greatest passion was her family. Spending time with her husband, children and grandchildren gave her all the joy in the world. Sherry loved to read. She always had a good book in her hands, especially, Danielle Steele. Murder mysteries were her favorites. Joe Kenda of Homicide Hunter was another favorite. She would even read while eating dinner. Sherry loved the soothing voice of Keith Morrison from Dateline. She was a strong woman, not scared of anything or anyone. She was truthful, spoke her mind and never held back.
She was a hard worker who moved her way up from receptionist to accountant. She spent 15 years with Ashley Furniture before retiring in 2017. Sherry was extremely lucky and enjoyed playing Bingo, going to Winstar Casino and Las Vegas with her husband Tommy. They would always eat at Roxy's on their way into town. Sherry, who could not sit still, also enjoyed traveling. She spent time living in Germany, traveled all over Europe and the United States.
