Sharon McAnally Obituary

Sharon "Sherry" McAnally

Sherry McAnally was born in Denver, CO, in August 1942 to William and Maxine Williams. She spent her early years in Trinidad, CO, before moving to Albuquerque, where she graduated from Sandia High School in 1960 and The Hollywood School of Beauty and Culture later that year. At a friend's wedding in 1960, she met the love of her life, Bo McAnally. They married in January 1961 and raised two daughters, living briefly in Santa Fe before moving to Albuquerque.

Sherry built a fulfilling life centered on family and creativity. She ran a dog grooming business from home and later owned Bell's Greenhouse in the South Valley for 27 years. Sherry and Bo loved all kinds of adventures: camping, square dancing, bowling, boating, and traveling across the U.S.

Sherry passed away peacefully at home on October 31, 2025.

Graveside services were held on November 6, 2025, at Vista Verde Memorial Park in Rio Rancho, NM.
