Scherrie Ballard Obituary
Scherrie was born in Hazlehurst, GA and graduated from Lanier County High School in Lakeland, GA. She went on to graduate from Valdosta State University in 1969. She met Jim (James) Ballard, the love of her earthly life in Orlando in 1975. Jim and Scherrie were married in Richmond, IN on December 24, 1977.
Scherrie worked as an administrative assistant at various companies until the birth of their first child. She made the decision to be a stay-at-home mother where she excelled in the upbringing of her children while supporting Jim in his work endeavors. She was an active volunteer in both the public schools and her church. She was a loving, dedicated and supportive wife to Jim and mother to her children.
Scherrie is survived by her husband Jim Ballard, children Amy Ballard, Jason (Laura) Ballard, grandchildren Evan and Ryan Ballard, sister-in-law Mickey Roddenberry and sister-in-law Jean (Alan) Toschlog Ballard along with numerous nephews and cousins as well as two loving dachshunds, Bella and Bandit. She left this life way too soon and will be missed forever.
