Sherri was a former member of the Rochester Carpenter's Union, Local #246 and formerly worked for Ramsey's Construction in Lakeville and Sugar Creek Glen Campground in Dansville. She was presently working as the manager at Echo Valley Auction House in Canandaigua.

Sherri was a vivacious, beautiful person with a great personality, always willing to welcome customers at their auction house with a bubbly, happy attitude and kind smile.
