Sherry graduated from West Noble High School and renovated  homes for many years. Most recently, she worked as a courier for Lake City Bank. She absolutely loved arts and crafts and was extremely talented. Sherry had an amazing sense of humor and was an incredible story teller. She loved passing on memories and family stories. Sherry was always making something special for the kids and always making others feel special. She was loving, kind, and never met a stranger, or an animal that she didn’t like. Nothing was more important to Sherry than her family, and she loved nothing more than being with them.
