Sherry with high school classmates Sharon Brown, Gloria Herring Miller, and Pat Costin Hamby at a Revelation Singers reunion.
Always lovely, light-hearted and quick to laugh, Sherry will surely be remembered for her style, her sweet and generous spirit, and her friendship. I knew her as a child when I visited my cousin, Cheryl (nee Joyner) Outlaw, in Magnolia. Later at James Kenan High we became close friends as classmates, cheerleaders, club members and just teenagers. I would sometimes spend the night with her at Mrs. Lela's and Mr. Alvin's house, with Rock often around, and those precious memories of staying up...

I grew up with Sherry and her family in Magnolia. Her mother, Lela, always talked about how after Sherry was born in December, Christmas Carolers sang to her outside the window. She was such a sweet little girl. We went to church together and I remember fondly the times at our little house at Carolina Beach. She was such a prissy little thing at the beach. She grew up to be a fine woman. Much sympathy to her husband, son and brother. May they always keep her in their hearts and may God give...
