Sherry Ann May

Sherry Ann May, a devoted wife and proud mother of three boys, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025, in Lewiston, Michigan. Born on July 22, 1968, in Flint, Michigan, Sherry embodied strength and kindness throughout her life, dedicating herself fully to those she loved and cared for.

As an accomplished accountant and bookkeeper, Sherry's expertise in accounting and finance was matched only by her passion for nurturing others. She held a master's degree in her field, a testament to her diligence and commitment to excellence. Yet, it was not her professional achievements that defined her but rather her unwavering devotion to her family. Sherry consistently put the needs of her loved ones before her own, ensuring that her sons were equipped to thrive. Their happiness was her guiding star, illuminating her path as she worked tirelessly to secure their future.

Sherry lived her life in service of others, displaying a rare combination of fierce resilience and gentle care. She approached every challenge with unwavering strength, a fierce determination that inspired all who were fortunate enough to know her. Like a sunflower that turns toward the sun, she sought out light even in the darkest of times, teaching those around her the profound lesson that there is always something good to be found, even amidst hardship.

Though our hearts are heavy with grief at her passing, we take solace in the incredible legacy Sherry leaves behind. Her life was a powerful reminder of love and perseverance, demonstrating that true strength is found not in the absence of struggle but in the grace with which we navigate it. Sherry’s spirit will continue to shine brightly through her sons, who carry her teachings and love in every step they take.

She will be remembered for her loving heart, her fierce spirit, and the eternal light she brought into the lives of everyone she encountered. Sherry’s memory will forever remain etched in our hearts, a beacon of hope and love that will guide us through our darkest days.

She is survived by her husband, Mike, of 30 years; three sons, Ethan (Sarah), Kyle and Logan May; her very first grandchild, a baby girl due in early October; brothers and a sister, Bill (Sandy) Stack, Tamara (Tony) Morse, Matt (Terry) Stack, Mike (Kim) Stack and Kenny (Lisa Cunningham) Stack; many nieces and nephews; and special extended family and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Mary (Stephens) Stack.
