Sherry worked in housekeeping which also translated into her personal life as her family described her as "an amazing housekeeper."  She had many hobbies that she loved.  She would work with Bruce by painting his woodworking projects.  She also loved singing and performing karaoke, fishing, and swimming.  She was always willing to lend a hand to those in need and could often be found caring for the sick in her community.  She had many friends, all of whom called her Momma Sherry.  But her greatest enjoyment came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
