Passed away suddenly on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at the age of 51. Sherri found great joy in serving others through her job as a Chaplain at Tri-County Mennonite Homes (Nithview) and Trinity Village Care Centre, as well as lending a helping hand to anyone in need.

She enjoyed music, specifically playing piano and singing at her place of work, as well as at her church, Hawkesville Mennonite Church. In her spare time Sherri enjoyed scrapbooking, and greatly valued time spent with family and friends.

We extend our thoughts and prayers to James and the young men at this very difficult time in their lives. We knew Sherri from Tavistock Mennonite Church. May God continue to grant James and the family of Sherri with his gift of courage and strength each and every day. Bill and Gloria Wettlaufer

Her passion for her boys, family and faith resonated in the many conversations we had. We have been blessed by her compassion and willingness to dialogue on any topic. I remember our conversations about Conestoga Bible Camp, youth culture and raising our teen-aged children, and serving others in our different ministry contexts. Our condolences to the James, Justin, & Caleb. We hold your family in prayer and wait with you for the reunion of the saints in Heaven.

Sherri was an exceptional person very skilled in knowing what to say and having a way of saying it that just made the world seem better. I will always cherish the time she took to check in with me during the difficult time in my life. If there are angels put on earth Sherri was absolutely one.
Sherri would remind me in our chats that our loved ones will always live on in our memories and by sharing stories we honour them. I pray that your special memories help to cope during this difficult time. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

She was one of the most honest and generous and kind people I have ever met! Sometimes too honest but that’s what I loved most about her! She was always there to listen with non judgement and compassion! So many deep conversations and so much wise advice. We met at Nithview and worked closely on the Palliative Care committee for years and became close friends.. so many great times from visits to the cottage to just having lunch break at work. She was always positive and her light radiated throughout Nithview! She is missed already dearly! Thoughts and prayers to James, Justin And Caleb and all of her extended family! Much love to you all!!

Sherri was a supportive and welcoming friend and co-worker. She was passionate in her ministry to others and in her love and care for her family. I am praying for God to comfort and guide you as you walk through this terrible time.
