Sherry dedicated her life to helping others and to caring for abandoned and abused animals. She was always there to help family and friends. Whenever someone needed her, she was there. She founded two animal rescue organizations and made a home for dozens of animals who needed her special attention. Working with a network of others in the rescue community, she saved the lives and found adoptive homes for hundreds of dogs, cats and horses. She also loved to garden and to design and reconstruct homes. She filled every minute of the day, always busy with activities that contributed to making things better. Her enthusiasm in all her activities was infectious. She will be greatly missed by all who were touched by her and her works. In accordance with her wishes, there is no memorial service. Sherry wanted everyone to continue to celebrate life and bless the time she was able to share with them. In her honor, please pass along a kindness to others.
