She was currently consumed with researching her family's genealogy.
Sherry was a supportive wife, mother and grandmother who was loved as she loved-unconditionally!

Caruso; mother, Myrtice Cassidy; two daughters, Tricia Showalter (Eric) and Toni Johnson (Darrin); seven granddaughters, Lauren, Hayden, Payten, Tristen, Alexis, Alyssa, and Addison; sister, Diane Goeller (Vic); and brother, Bobby Cassidy (Mona); aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Dearest Trish, Toni, and Dr. Caruso,
I pray God bring each of you strength during this hour of need! Sherry showed enormous strength, faith, and love to you all during her illness. I still remember her smile and positive attitude; she made us all laugh. I enjoyed my years working with you Doc, and getting to know your family. We had some fun times; Sherry seemed to love goofing off with us at birthday lunches. What a blessing to have such a strong, close family.
God bless you all...and hug those precious girls for me, Trish!
Love,
Aimee Gudinas

I searched among the thoughts I have,
To see if I could find,
The special ones that mean so much,
You’re heavy on my mind.
I cannot find, no not one word,
That capture’s it just right,
For no one else can understand
What I'd like to write.
I find it, oh, so difficult
To try to write it down,
How can I present to others,
The love that you have shown?
I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adored
A person who was beautiful,
Into her very soul.
.
My words cannot describe
The many qualities you showed,
The love and caring nature that
You shared with those who know.
Your kind and gentle temperament,
Your sweet laugh and smile,
Your softly spoken sentiments,
That traveled across the miles.
We smiled, we laughed, we cried
We even conquered fears
I see the smile upon your face
I see the twinkle in your eye.
The loving times throughout the years,
That quickly come to pass,
We shared the many secrets
and then you left so fast.
I struggle now, as I search to find
the perfect words to say goodbye ...
I know I will not find these words
For they cannot exist..
Because of all the memories,
You must simply know,
I’ll keep you in my heart forever,
For those words I do not know..
