She was the best at hunting for morel mushrooms every spring at her northern property. One of her life's passions was caring for animals. Up until about 6 years ago Sherrie owned Northern Husky Den, where she breed beautiful Huskies. A natural gift of Sherrie's was her creative mind, she was able to see the purpose and potential in all things. She was constantly re-purposing and creating artwork.
