Together, they shared a loving and devoted partnership that spanned decades. Sherry’s work began as a homemaker raising her 4 girls, and once the girls graduated high school, she took a job at St. Francis Convent where she worked for 10 years. Sherry had a joyful spirit and a heart full of warmth. She loved picking agates, playing cards, and her favorite card game being bingo. In their retirement, she and Bob shared a passion for travel, with special memories made in Alaska, and the western United States. Above all, Sherry was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother. She had a youthful heart and was always eager to join in on her children’s adventures.
