She worked at grocery stores in New Leipzig, ND and Casselton, ND. She worked at MVNA as a receptionist in Minneapolis, MN. Her favorite job of all was being a mom and grandma.
Sherry had an exceptional talent for drawing free hand and oil paintings. She loved to garden and plant flowers of any kind so much that she would share with anyone. Sherry loved to attend church. Her faith was especially important to her. She went on two mission trips to Columbia and China. Her favorite part was rocking the babies in the orphanages. She absolutely loved to talk and visit with anyone. She was never short of anything to tell you and sometimes she would tell you twice. If she called you on the phone, you could count on needing a few hours.
