Sherry Lynn was a smile personified and walking sunshine. Sherry would smile and make jokes with a wall if needed, to make her family and friends happy.

Sherry decided to take time off from school to spend with family and friends. At a young age, Sherry developed a love for putting together puzzles. Sherry loved the outdoors and being outside with her family, whether it was mushroom hunting, fishing, or going to yard sales with her Grandma Diana. Sherry had a close relationship with her siblings and grandparents. She doted on her nephew, Tylor, and loved spending time with him.
