Sheri Lynn Herrmann, 53, a vibrant soul whose passion for life and love for racing touched everyone she met, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, surrounded by cherished loved ones at the Levine Dickson Hospice House in Huntersville, North Carolina. Her journey through life was marked by adventure, a tremendous work ethic and an unyielding spirit that inspired all who knew her.

Born in Orange, California, Sheri was then raised in Littleton, Colorado, where she developed a deep-rooted love for travel and racing, inherited from her devoted mother and father. She pursued her education at Arizona State University, followed by a Masters of Science in Sports Administration from University of Colorado. She graduated with the determination and enthusiasm that would define her career. Sheri later made her home in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, immersing herself in the thrilling world of NASCAR with then, Roush Racing. She continued her professional path at Continental Tire before boldly launching her own successful content marketing company, where her creativity and drive shone brightly and her renewed faith flourished.

An avid fan of all forms of racing, Sheri's enthusiasm was contagious, bringing joy and excitement to gatherings with friends and family. Her warmth extended far beyond the racetrack; she was a steadfast supporter of U.S. Veterans, proudly contributing to meaningful causes over the years. Sheri was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Thomas and Karen Herrmann. She leaves behind a legacy of love, survived by her Aunt Karol Arnold, cousins Kate Svancara, Kevin Arnold, Shaun Sawyer, Derrick Sawyer, as well as nieces and nephews, and a wide circle of dear friends who will forever hold her in their hearts.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you consider a donation in Sheri's honor to VIA Healthcare Partners (Levine Dickson Hospice House of Huntersville https://www.viagiving.org/one-time-giving), where she received loving, compassionate care in her final days, and to NorthStar Care Community's We Honor Veterans program (https://secure.qgiv.com/for/hospiceofmichigan), reflecting her deep commitment to honoring those who served our country. Sheri's light will continue to guide us, reminding us to live with passion and embrace every turn life offers.

A private Celebration of Life will be held in Lake Norman, N.C next week.
