Sherry was born in Breese, Illinois on September 30, 1950, a daughter of Carl W. and Kathleen (Hubbard) Gambill. She was a devoted member of Huey Methodist Church and faithfully supported their missions. Sherry was a compassionate and caring soul always eager to offer a hug or helping hand. She had a spot for cats and will be deeply missed by the 9 cats she currently cares for.
Sherry most recently owned Sherry's Cleaning Service with her best friend and business partner, Mella Hammons. They worked hard and always looked forward to going to the movies and "play day."

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Barbara Holstlaw.
