Sherry Ann Poe

Sherry Ann Poe, age 52, passed away on Tuesday, July 28, 2015. She was born on September 25, 1962 to Edward Paul and Verda Lee Gann of Kansas City, Missouri. Sherry attended N.K.C. High School, graduating in 1981. She grew up attending Avondale Baptist Church where she made a profession of Faith and was baptized.

Sherry had two children, Sara Ann Poe and Zachary Levi Poe; and significant other, Ron Neitch, who she was happily committed to for more than 20 years. Her children, grandchildren, family, and friends brought her the greatest joy. She was quick to give a smile, laugh, hug or to lend a hand. Sherry adored her seven grandchildren, Jayden, Evan, Cody, Candace, Ethan, Zaylin, and Lucius, who called her “Nana”.

Sherry was a C.N.A. for a number of years caring for people in their homes. She also helped care for friends and her mother while she was on hospice care. She was a very compassionate person.

She enjoyed doing many things in life, but one of her favorite things was camping. She grew up camping quite often with her parents and sister, and later with many of her friends. Sitting around a campfire visiting with friends and family brought her happiness. Sherry was proceeded in death by her mother Verda Gann. Sherry is survived by her father Paul Gann; significant other, Ron Neitch; sister Lisa Durfey and brother-in-law, Randy Durfey of Clarinda Iowa; son, Zachary Poe of Kansas City; daughter, Sara Poe of Lee’s Summit; seven grandchildren and numerous other family and friends. Our memories of Sherry will live on in our hearts forever, and the kindness, love, and compassion she shared will be passed down for generations to come.
