She was raised alongside her brother, Steven, and together they would get in trouble for eating the hearts of the yellow watermelon her family grew. Sherry graduated from Kokomo High School in 1967 and soon after began working at Delco Electronics. There she worked for 30 years before her retirement.
Sherry married Richard Lewis on May 28, 1988, she passed on their 35th wedding anniversary. Though Sherry only had two kids of her own, she practically raised the entire neighborhood. Whenever Sherry cooked dinner, she made enough to feed everyone. She was "mom" to many, including numerous spoiled cats and dogs.
Sherry loved to go shopping for antiques, so much so that she and Richard needed to purchase a second house for all of her decorations.
She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, friend, and Christian. She attended Radiant Life Ministry for many years.
Sherry is survived by her husband Richard "Rick" Lewis; son John Michael Wright; stepchildren Richard Craig (Jennifer) Lewis II and Shannon Michelle (Karl) Willis; brother Steven (Kathy) Russell; grandchildren Sherry Wright and Austin Shapiro; nephew Jamie(Lisa) Russell; nieces Kim(Jeff) Achors, Dustina(Chris) Lear, numerous cousins, friends and neighbors.
