Daughter Kim remembers her mother in these words written a few days after her death:
“My mom never ended a conversation or phone call without telling you she loved you. She didn’t always know how to show love, but I knew she loved me because she always made sure she told me over and over and over again! I will miss being able to pick up the phone and hear her voice. I miss her already!”
Sherry received the Last Rites of the Catholic Church shortly before her death. There will be no services.. Arrangements entrusted to Indiana Funeral Care.
