She earned her RN degree at the University of Rochester, where she met the love of her life, Dr. John W. Huff. They married and moved to Seattle in 1959 where they raised three children and became an integral part of the community.

Sheryn was the beloved mother of my best friend, Glen Huff. She was always bright, cheerful, kind, and loving. She had a way of always making me feel so welcome and loved in her house. I will miss her. Her love lives on in her children and grandchildren, and I look forward to seeing her - and her dear husband John - when it is my turn to go and be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I have many fond childhood memories of my friendship with Sheryn's son, John. Growing up just a few blocks from their house, I spent many hours at the Huff residence and always felt welcome in their house.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Huff Family.

I heard about Sharon Huff and was saddened by the news. I then thought longer and harder and remembered a glorious time when I had a leaf stem stuck in my eye. I was frantic and screaming for help. Weasel (my sister) burst into the bathroom and immediately called the trusty Nurse Huff. Sharon was at our home in 1 minute and performed a marvelous operation on my eye, wherein she extracted the menacing leaf stem with a moistened Que-tip and keen vision. To this day I'm not quite sure how she did this agreeably complex surgery without a laser guided arthroscopic telescope, anesthetic and a staff of 20.... But she did and I was forever thankful.
When I was done remembering this time of my life, my sister and our house on Kenilworth Place, I cried. Not tears of pain or saddenness but tears of joy and remembrance of a time when my life was much less confusing. Evan Knapp, Newport Beach, CA

Sheryn was a wonderful woman. A great friend to my mother, Vivian. She was a comfort to me personally, and to my family, when my brother, Alex, passed away. My husband and I will be at her service, and my prayers go out to the family.
