Sherrie worked in sales in multiple places over the years, including Sears, JC Penney, and Plumb’s.

Sherrie had a giving heart and helped others wherever she could, whether it was crocheting or quilting blankets and Afghans for local churches or volunteering at the rescue mission. She loved spending time outside, especially sitting and looking at the lake from her porch. She was an incredibly warm and loving person and was accepting of everyone she met. She loved dogs, especially her childhood pet, Trixie.
