She enjoyed spending time at the cabin and being outdoors - whether it was enjoying nature's beauty or time by her pool, hosting a party, swimming, and getting a tan. She had a love of sunflowers, flying kites, and casting her gaze to the sky to find shapes in the clouds. Sherri always appreciated the beauty in a rainbow or sunset. Friends and family were very important to her, especially her husband and daughter.

Preceded in death by her mother & father in-law, Harold & Audrey Andrews; maternal grandmother, Rachel Lewis; & her paternal grandparents, Albert & Ada Peterson.

I am saddened by Sherri's passing. I am a former associate of Sherri's and last Dec. we had a long conversation about everything but mostly we talked of Holly. She was so proud of her and Jeff. I will miss her smile.
