She then attended Catawba College, where she was in the honors program. Sherri received her B.A. from Western Illinois University Extension Learning.

She painted murals for Walmart, Lake Norman Medical Center, Iredell Memorial Hospital and others. Her most recent work was a mural painted during the services at First Baptist Church in Statesville. Sherri did illustrations for magazines, and she was involved in the Mitchell Theatrical Company designing costuming.

Sherri enjoyed working with abused children at Emergency Child Care Home of Iredell and had a life-long love of learning, creativity, beauty and animals. She rescued several pets with the most recent being her beloved Ragdoll cat, “Miss Priss.”

Bobby and Judy thank all who helped Sherri in any way throughout her illness, especially Dr. Hart at Baptist Hospital and Serenity House in Mooresville.
