Carolyn grew up in Lubbock, Texas and graduated from Lubbock High School. She married Buddy Sherley and had three beautiful children to whom she demonstrated how to love unconditionally and live in a way that extended kindness and generosity to others.
Carolyn enjoyed her work and friends at J.C.Penney in Hurst, TX and University Medical Center in Lubbock, TX. She was a true friend and accepted others with a loving and unconditional heart. Carolyn could always be counted on to speak words of encouragement and support precisely at the time they were needed most. Carolyn’s sweet spirit and unexpected style of humor enhanced the dynamic of every conversation.
True to Carolyn’s nature, she continued to think about others instead of herself during her yearlong battle with cancer, which she courageously battled with faith and grace.
She is survived by her children: Lance Sherley, D.O. and daughter-in-law, Suzanne of Clarksville, TN; Staci Dunn and son-in-law, Tony of Southlake, TX; Traci Curtis and son-in-law, Rick of North Richland Hills, TX; and grandchildren Seth, Kelsey, and Jordan Sherley; Zachary and Brenson Dunn; and Connor and Colton Curtis; her brother Don Zachary and sister-in-law, Greta; sisters-in-law, Linda Zachary, Patti Stuart and Betty Stuart. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Dennis Zachary.
