She had a green thumb like her brother for gardening and enjoyed growing and tending to her flowers. She loved life, family and friends and never lost her faith in God even thru all she endured with her many illnesses. She was baptized as a child and knew God as her lord and savior. She last resided at the Conroe Heath Care Center in Conroe, Texas. She had many friends there and enjoyed all the festivities and outings they would plan for the

residence. We all celebrated her 60th birthday there and she loved every minute of it. Sherry has never met a stranger. She could walk up to anyone and thru her gift of conversation make them feel warm as though they were old friends. She was loved very much by her family, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. She was a strong woman and fought hard all the way to the end.! All who ever knew her will miss her dearly.
