Some of her many accomplishments were home builder, realtor, interior designer, former school board president of the Red Oak ISD, helped start the Oak Cliff Soccer Association, and a coached and supported youth sports groups. She was also a member of the American Junior Brahman Association.

She had a passion for history and enjoyed researching her family lineage. For enjoyment, she, loved fishing and relaxing at the beach with a good book. She was a proud member of the Republican Party and contributed to many GOP campaigns. She was a very gracious benefactor to many charitable organizations/groups and gave scholarships to many deserving students.

She was so excited about the engagement and upcoming marriage to her beloved, John.

Sherry was a free spirit, yet she was deeply rooted in her love of family, friends and religion. Although she left us too soon, sweet memories will live forever in the hearts she left behind.
