Not sure what to say?

Sheryl was a beautiful person, she always made everyone feel welcomed and seen. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kim and her family. My deepest sympathy.

Great teacher. Great person...prayers for Kim and all her family and friends

Ms. Flanagin was my favorite teacher in High School. I still quote her from time to time. I ran into her a few years ago and she didn't remember me but thats ok. She will always have a special place in my heart.

Mrs Flanagin was one of my favorite teachers throughout school. She lived one street behind us. She always laughed when my mom would send her a note because she never called her by the correct first name... anything but Sheryl lol. We always laughed about it because it never changed and there was no way I could ever forge a letter from my mom! My son was diagnosed with a glioblastoma in 2018, had surgery, radiation and chemo and lived until Dec 2022. I know exactly what you did for your mom...

Ms. Flanagin was my favorite teacher. I can still hear her say, "wait, I can´t hear you, let me put my glasses on!" She was one-of-a-kind. Prayers for the family.

Sheryl was fearless and adventuresome. When she retired from teaching, Sheryl traveled extensively with friends who counted on her savvy travel planning and who marveled at her willingness to have undertaken a lone car trip to most of the Eastern half of the US. When she traveled with others, Sheryl always insisted on driving and insisted on stopping at every notable sight: oldest, newest, best, first or only. And she had trouble passing Dunkin Donuts wherever she was. How we will miss her...

Sheryl, I always tried to watch my grammar around you! lol You played the best "air guitar " than anyone at our Zonta function hosted by our Zonta club, Central Oklahoman. You were a trooper! You will be deeply missed! Rest in peace my Zonta sister!!
