Publish in a newspaper

Sheryl A. "Sherry" Culbertson, 66, of Marion, passed away at 3:53 am on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, in her home.

Born on July 18, 1959, in Richmond, Indiana, Sherry was the beloved daughter of Tom and Betty (Daniels) McKee. She graduated from Centerville High School and went on to serve her community as a dedicated unit secretary at Marion General Hospital.

On August 27, 1976, Sherry married the love of her life, Jeff Culbertson, who survives. Together, they built a life centered around love, family, and faith.

Sherry had a creative spirit and a kind heart. She found joy in crocheting, crafting, and capturing life's precious moments through photography-especially those of her cherished grandchildren. Her greatest passion was her family, and she will be remembered for her unwavering devotion, warmth, and gentle presence.

In addition to her husband, Jeff, Sherry is survived by her father, Tom McKee of Richmond; her daughter, Michelle (James) Adaway of Marion; her son, Michael Culbertson of Marion; her grandchildren, Trey and Jesi Adaway; her siblings, Dan (Rebecca) McKee and Tim (Duretta) McKee, both of Richmond, and Linda (Terry) Hyndman of Columbia City; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty McKee, and her brother, Ken McKee.

A memorial visitation to celebrate Sherry's life will be held from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at Needham Storey Wampner Funeral and Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN 46952.
