Sherry, A.K.A "Scrappy", will be missed by so many. She was a proud and loving mother to her 3 kids, and the best grandmother and great-grandmother to all her grandkids. Her family was very important to her, including her siblings. We are thankful to have so many treasured memories with her.

Some of her favorite things to do were cooking, watching her favorite shows, and listening to gospel music. So many things about her will be missed, including her mischievous laugh and sense of humor. Cooking for the family was her way of bringing us all together so we could laugh, reminisce, and create new memories.

We will also miss her stubbornness, fearlessness, and her ability to bring light into any situation. Sherry was always there to help and offer her love, including the time she took in caring for her newborn niece, whom she loved and raised like her own. The times we shared and the memories we made will live on through us forever because she made a huge impact on us all.
