Sherry was a die-hard Cubs fan, but also enjoyed ND football.  She enjoyed cooking and loved sewing, which she did as an occupation.  She also worked at the St. John's Lutheran School library for over 30 years.

 

She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church and volunteered at the St. John's Thrift Shop. 

 

Sherry will fondly be remembered as the "mom" of the neighborhood, as well as for the wonderful Christmas cookies she created.  She never missed her sons' and grandsons' baseball games.  Sherry was never happier than when she was with and supporting her children.
