Dr. Sherryl W. Johnson was born in Albany, Georgia, on March 27, 1962. She was the precious daughter of the late Ollie P. Whearry and Eddie Whearry.
Sherryl Johnson graduated from Albany High School in 1979. She went on to earn a bachelor's degree from Clark College, a master's degree from Emory University, and a doctoral degree from Clark–Atlanta University.
In 1988, Sherryl was joined in holy matrimony to Reverend Solomon Johnson III. They were blessed with twins, Solomon Johnson IV and Shermone Johnson. Sherryl was a loving and devoted mother to both of her children.
The Johnson family became active members of Victory Tabernacle. Sherryl's husband served as an associate pastor there until his death. Sherryl loved her Victory Church family, and for more than 30 years, she served in various capacities within the ministry.
Professionally, Dr. Sherryl Johnson made an impact on students and faculty through her work as a college professor. She worked for over 30 years at Albany State University. Her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence was evident throughout her tenure.
Our beloved Sherryl was preceded in death by her husband, Solomon Johnson III; and mother, Ollie P. Whearry. Precious memories will be cherished by her children, Solomon Johnson IV and Shermone Johnson; three sisters, Debra Fitzpatrick (Michael), Beverly Williams (Eugene), and Frankie Smith (Corey); loving mother-in-law, Susie Ducksworth sisters-in-law, Sonja Essic and Sabrina Brown; brother in- law, Steven Johnson; nieces and nephews, Jason Thompson (Deborah), Jared Fitzpatrick (Brooke), Maya Fitzpatrick, Ashley Williams, Paul Williams, Carmen Williams, Rachel Williams, Troy Williams, Brittney Miller, Corey Sibley, and Baron Sibley; great-nephew, Samuel Fitzpatrick; and a host of other dear relatives and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Sherryl's passing. We were neighbors of the Ponders as children and have fond memories of Sherryl, her sisters and her cousin, my friend William Ponder. I pray God grants the family peace and understanding during their time of bereavement.
