In Loving Memory of Sherry Zellar Furtick

Sherry Zellar Furtick of Moncks Corner South Carolina, a loving and outgoing mother and friend, passed away at the age of 68 in a local hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. Born on December 13, 1956, Sherry dedicated her life to her family and loved ones as a devoted homemaker, pouring her caring spirit into those she cherished most.

Sherry will be deeply missed by her surviving family: her son, David Furtick, and his wife, Duffy Furtick, of Eutawville, SC; her daughter, Erin Furtick and Josh Hiles, of Goose Creek, SC; and her two beloved granddaughters, Kaytlyn Furtick (Eutawville, SC) and Kelsi Hiles (Goose Creek, SC). She is also survived by her three sisters and three brothers: Susan, Vicky, Cathy, Johnny, Bobby, and Carlton.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Sylma Ann; her father, Carlton; and her brother, Chuck.

Sherry's life was defined by her generous and caring nature, which made her a friend to many. Her memory will be treasured by all who were touched by her kindness and outgoing spirit.

The family invites friends and loved ones to celebrate Sherry's life at two separate gatherings:

Celebration of Life Service will be held Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 1:00 PM at New Beginnings Worship Center, 2816 S Live Oak Dr, Moncks Corner, SC 29461
