Sherry Ann Gill Simpson
July 11, 1958- January 29, 2025
Our beloved Sherry Ann Gill Simpson, a resident of Mt. Hermon, passed away
peacefully on January 29 at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana and
entered her heavenly home with her savior, Jesus Christ. She was born July 11, 1958,
and was 66 years of age at the time of her passing. Sherry was a graduate of Mt. Hermon High School class of 1976. She was an active member of Mt. Hermon Baptist Church where she headed the Hospitality Committee and showed her love through taking care of others. Sherry was a true servant for the Lord, her church, her family, and friends. She never hesitated to serve others in an unselfish manner, expecting nothing in return. Sherry was a great cook and candy maker and made countless batches to give to others each holiday. One of her favorite things to do was to make M & M cookies with her grandchildren and those close to her. She was also an avid sports fan, especially when it came to her LSU Lady Tigers. Sherry worked at Dairymen Incorporated for 13 years and later went on to Kentwood High School to work until retirement where the students and faculty adored her. She loved to hunt and fish alongside her husband of over 45 years, Ricky. She took great pride in telling you about her sons, daughter-in-law, and grandsons. Visiting her family was what she enjoyed most in life.
Sherry is survived by her husband, Ricky Simpson; children, Brandon Simpson (Laura), and Britt Simpson; grandsons, James Boyd "JB" Simpson and Alexander Gregory Ray "Aggie" Simpson. She is also survived by two brothers, Kenneth (Melody) Gill and Mike (Betty) Gill; brother-in-law, Wayne Simpson (Susan), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and beloved friend Lou Alford Jennings whom she treated as her own daughter, Sherry was preceded in death by her parents, Billy and Dorothy Gill; father-in-law, Burnell Simpson, and mother-in-law, Hazel Simpson.
Visitation will be held Sunday, February 2 at Mt. Hermon Baptist Church from 1 p.m.
to 4 p.m. with funeral conducted at 4 p.m. by Reverend Ray Wuerzer. In lieu of flowers,
the family would like for donations to be given to Mt. Hermon Baptist Church (Hospitality
