Sherry was a kind and giving person who treated everyone like family. She loved to fish and garden. She also loved butterflies, frogs, and hummingbirds. Oh, and don’t forget, of course she was obsessed with Christmas. She really enjoyed the little things in life. Celebrating with her family was a constant event for her, especially when children were involved. Therefore, in lieu of flowers the family asks that donations in her name be made to the HOI Big Brothers Big Sisters Program or Ronald McDonald House of Peoria.
