Sherry Lynch, born on October 20, 1948 in Fort Worth, TX, passed away on May 20, 2026 at 77 years old, holding the hands of her loved ones. Sherry was loving, artistic, fun and had the greatest sense of humor. She loved her family, animals, theater, traveling, nature, watching storms, and relaxing on the porch.
Sherry received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas and shared her artistic talent with the world as an actress and teacher. Sherry was larger than life both on and off stage.

She was a speech and theater arts teacher at Howell Middle School for 20 years, leading her students to victory year after year in the speech and theater arts tournament.

Sherry could always find the humor in every situation and brought the gift of laughter to everyone who crossed her path, making the world a brighter place.
