Sherrie was born on October 13, 1956 in Durango, Colorado to surviving parents, Chester L. and MaryAnn Smith. She eventually settled in Tucson, Arizona where she graduated from Cholla High School in 1975 and began a new chapter of her life with her high school sweetheart and husband of 32 years, David Phillip Ramirez. Together they created a family of four; leaving her mark on this planet. Her wit, her smile, her beauty, her heart, her strength, and her undying ability to touch the lives of everyone who crossed her path are the memories that Sherrie has left for generations to share. Sherrie is survived by husband, David Phillip Ramirez; her four children, David J. Ramirez, Carissa M. (Carlos) Camacho, Christopher "Critter" L. Ramirez and Stephen "Nico" Ramirez; brother, Steven (Holly) Smith; sister, Kimberly (Scott) LaRose; nieces Heather and Hanna LaRose and grandmama's babies, Danny Christopher Ramirez and Carlos Armando Camacho Jr. She will be guided through the gates of heaven by her angels, Joe F.

Dear Dave & Family,

May God be with you and your family during this time of sadness. I can still remember meeting Sherri the first day of High School. He was full of life, smart, friendly and very kind. I have such great memories we all shared during our younger years.

When I think of the union of marriage and what it should be I would always think of you and Sherri. Your love for each other was unconditional and as sold as rock. I don't think I know anyone our age besides Virginia and George who have been married as long you the two of you and still so in love.

Sherri was a wonderful person, wife, mother and friend and she will be remembered.

May her love for you carry you through this difficult time.

Your friend with love,
Jeanne

To the David Ramirez Family,
Besides being a caring and devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Sherrie was a great friend. She was a devoted parent volunteer and classroom mom at Tully for many years. I was privileged to work with her on many field trips, festivals and classroom projects. Sherrie always entered the room with a smile and the "let's get to work" attitude that we all needed and loved. Tully teachers all enjoyed her, and appreciated her time she gave to the classrooms
I will always remember our time as friends. A friend like Sherrie is hard to find. I was so lucky I found her.
Sending my prayers to all of the family members.
