She accepted Christ as her personal Savior at an early age, and along with her late grandmother Doris, attended Shiloh Christian Community Church.

After leaving her position as an orthodontist assistant, she enrolled at CCBC to earn a degree in dental hygiene. Unfortunately, after herdiagnosis in October 2017, she was unable to finish.

Sherry was a beautiful person inside and out and was known for her short haircuts and pretty smile.
