Throughout her life, Sherry lived in Oshkosh, WI; Honolulu, HI; San Diego, CA; and Katy, TX, she collected friendship and memories wherever she went. She loved cooking for those she cared about, playing bingo with friends, and spending countless hours working through word search puzzles. Sherry loved being surrounded by family and friends, sharing stories, creating laughter, and brightening every room she entered.
She was a proud and dedicated member of the BPOE Elks for 14 years; Sherry embraced every opportunity to give back.

I miss my mom so muck. This is still shocking to me. So happy she’s not in pain anymore. Love you Mom. RIP
Sherry loved telling me stories about her life and her time living in Oshkosh. As I recall, she never mentioned Hawaii. However, she enjoyed telling me her many life experiences. She was very pragmatic to me, and it showed in her many decisions. She was always “matter-of-fact,” and everything she said seemed reasonable, especially to her. I will miss listening to her stories. She will be missed. I plan on attending her Celebration of Life this Sunday at the Katy Elks Hall.
