I will always remember Sherry’s smile and little giggle when we played cards with her, or went out to eat. Later she went to church for awhile with my son and I, which we enjoyed tremendously! We missed her when she moved to Texas, but realized it was best for her. Will never forget her, tho! Thank you Lord for letting us know her!
Sherry was a very loving friend. ❤️💜We had a lot of laughs together ,Sherry, Cheryl and I. She will be very missed.
Condolences to all.🥲
So sorry to learn of the passing of Sherry. She was an Iowa State University classmate , Delta Zeta Sorority sister and dear college friend. We were bridesmaids in each other’s weddings. I lost track of her when she moved to Texas but hold her friendship dear in my heart. Rest in peace, dear friend.
I was the flower girl when your parents were married. I loved her so much! We are cousins, Her Mack grandparents were my great grandparents. I tried re-connecting with Sherry but didn’t have the right contact info. I’m sad that I didn’t. I enjoyed reading about her life, we are on similar paths. I remember spending a weekend at Jeff and Cindy’s in Mpls when we were little. And I also remember Craig and Jane, and Aunt Ruth. Always felt loved, always will cherish the memories, and will connect in the big reunion in the sky!
