Sherri had a flair for style, always effortlessly elegant in her appearance. A true romantic at heart, she had a remarkable ability to find beauty and love in the world around her, enriching the lives of those she touched with her talent, optimism, and affection.

Sherri’s compassionate nature extended beyond her family to her involvement in her husband Huck’s union, where she dedicated herself to caring for others and contributing to the community he was so passionate about. But perhaps her most cherished role was that of a nurturing mother figure, not only to her own children but to any children her children brought home. Sherri had an open heart and an open door policy; everyone wanted Sherri to be their mom.

Sherri also had a profound love for animals, with a heart that embraced creatures of all shapes and sizes. Her compassion knew no bounds, and she found joy in caring for and nurturing the animals she encountered throughout her life.

If you knew Sherri, you understood the depth of love and kindness she embodied, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Sherri and Huck shared a bond of pure magic, their worlds revolving around each other. It was a true, true love story, filled with love and romance. Together again, they will embark on their travels, exploring the world hand in hand, just as they did in life.

Sherri will forever remain in our hearts, and her memory will continue to inspire us all.
