Wichita, Kansas - Sheryl
Jean Miller (Pulliam), age 80, of Wichita, Kansas, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2025, with family at her side.
She never met a stranger and was known for her quick wit, bold spirit, and sass. Her friends were family and her family were friends.
Born on January 29, 1945, in Anthony, Kansas, Sheryl was the daughter of Betty Jean Pulliam (Cook) and Leonard Lawrence Pulliam. She grew up in Derby, Kansas, where she attended Elementary, Jr High and High school. Graduating from Derby High School in 1963.

She was a member of first United Methodist Church in Wichita, a member of Eastern Star and volunteered at the Kansas Masonic Home. Creativity was Sheryl's constant companion. She was an avid reader and a gifted quilter, known for crafting pieces that were as beautiful as they were meaningful.
Sheryl loved her family. She is survived by her children; Cary (Mary) Lewis, Kevin (Pam) Lewis, Kimberly Pryor, and Andrea Jaben (Louie Hernandez); her sister; Sandy Attebury; eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She shared a particularly special bond with her granddaughter, Elizabeth Plank and great-granddaughter, Arianna Wilson.
