Sherry grew up in Northwest Arkansas and was a graduate of Prairie Grove High School. A beautiful lady inside and out, she was on the homecoming court throughout high school. Sherry dedicated her life to serving and caring for others. After high school, she earned her degree in nursing from the University of Arkansas Nursing Program.

Outside of her work as a registered nurse, Sherry devoted many years to the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls program and to her church, New Life Temple. She held her faith close to her heart and found great comfort in the church and friends who made her life full. Sherry also enjoyed many trail rides exploring the countryside on her beloved horse, Prince. Most of all, she loved her family and raising them in the Branson area, where she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
