A wonderful and beautiful lady, I knew Sheryl since at least attendance at Milwood Elementary since we lived a few houses apart in Milwood. Later, we met in the Portage Northern bands which was great fun. I was hoping she would attend the PNHS 50th Reunion. Sheryl brought so much to so many, we can rejoice she is with our Lord. We will all miss Sheryl.

So sorry for your loss. Sherry was a remarkable person who influenced so many young women at Rock Hill Camp during her years as a counselor. She was a born leader.
