Visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Following cremation, Sherry’s remains will be placed with her beloved James, and together they will be laid to rest at the Fort Gibson National Cemetery in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Sherry will be remembered for her loving heart, unwavering faith, creative spirit, and the deep devotion she had for her family. Her memory will be cherished always.
“To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.” – Psalm 25:1
