With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sherrill Emmons on July 8, 2025, at the age of 82, after a courageous battle with cancer. Sherrill was the heart of our family-her love, laughter, and unwavering kindness touched everyone who knew her.
She shared 62 beautiful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Ken. Together, they built a life filled with love, joy, and cherished memories. Sherrill was a beloved mother to her daughter Dawn and son-in-law Jim, and a proud Nana to her granddaughters Courtney (Jeremiah) and Ashley (Cleef). Her great-granddaughters, Isabella and Scarlett, brought her endless joy and smiles.
Sherrill is also survived by her brother Jack (Marion), sister Patricia (Don), niece Gwen (Gary), and nephew Dan (Karrie). Her family was her world, and she loved each of them deeply.
To her granddaughters, Sherrill was more than a Nana-she was an adventurer, a confidante, and a partner in mischief. She believed in making memories, embracing joy, and sometimes, yes, having ice cream for dinner.
Sherrill was known for her kind heart, her gentle spirit, and her ability to make everyone feel special. She was the soul of every gathering, the calm in every storm, and the glue that held us all together. Her absence leaves a space that can never be filled.
At Sherrill's request, there will be no services. Instead, she asked that you take a moment to remember the laughter, the love, and the good times. Raise a glass in her honor and celebrate her journey home-where there is no more pain, only peace.
Her parting words to us all: "Cherish every moment and every person in your life, because you never know when it will be the last time you see someone. Life is fragile. Take nothing for granted."
We will carry her love with us always.
