Please accept my deepest condolences. Rev. Sherry played an integral part in my family through the years . My grandparents and my aunt and uncle were parishioners in her church while in Staples. We shared many visits and church services. She was awesome. JC and Lillie McKean and the Bauerlein families were my relatives. While serving the FUMC in Johnson. City, we connected again. My cousin´s family (Darlene McKean Young) were lucky to have her as their pastors. I loved visiting with them and seeing Sherry again.
This summer I had the opportunity to met with Sherry again. She returned to Staples to conduct a beautiful memorial service for my Uncle Allen and Aunt Chris McKean. She will always hold a special place in our families memories. May your fond memories bring you comfort on those dark days.
My sympathy

Sherry helped me transition from the military chaplaincy to civilian pastorate back in 1998. She was a wonderful mentor and pastor!!
