Sheri Proctor Obituary
Sheri Lynn Proctor, born on August 12, 1974, departed this life on March 5, 2025, in Rome, Georgia. A beacon of warmth and compassion, Sheri was known for her caring and outgoing personality, which endeared her to many. She possessed a nurturing spirit and often acted as a mother figure to those who loved her dearly.
She was a devoted mother to her son, Dalton Wyatt Mitchell, and cherished her family, which included her sister, Stephanie Freeman (Jesse Baker), and her adopted sister, Cindy Godfrey.

She also cherished the moments when she went fishing and the good memories she helped create for others who accompanied her on those trips.
