Sherry Casteel Obituary

"One person caring about another represents life's greatest value" -Jim Rohan Sherry Lee Casteel, born April 25,1950, a native of Memphis, Tn, passed away peacefully at the age of 75 in Ft. Lauderdale Fl, where she enjoyed the last 25 years of her life. Sherry was preceded in death by her father, George Casteel, Mother, Katherine Green, and sister, Jan Johnson. She is survived by her loving husband, Dick Berry, of 31 years, and 2 brothers, Keith Casteel (68), and David Hodges (66). In addition, she leaves behind 2 nieces, 3 nephews, 2 great nieces, and 4 great nephews. Sherry attended and graduated from Memphis State University, earning a degree in Psychology. Soon after, she entered the workforce specializing in stocks, trades, and loans. In 1988, Sherry made the self-less decision to forego her career to become a full-time caregiver to her brother, David, who suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of 30. Sherry's psychology degree paired with her loving heart, allowed her to provide David with the best care possible. Sherry devoted her entire life to caring for David until her passing. She will be remembered for the sacrifices made. Rest in peace, sweetheart, your work here is done. We love you. A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, September 15, 2025 at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery, 5668 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38119.
