Sherry was a member of the Church of Christ.  Her family was the center of her life and she loved being a housewife, mother, and grandmother.  Her house was always full of love and sometimes very chaotic with the kids running around.  In her spare time she loved to sew, quilt, and bake.  There are many things she made throughout her life that her family will cherish for generations to come.
