Sherry was loved by her children and grandchildren, who remember many very special times with her. Christmases were always traditionally festive feasts featuring her legendary noodles. Sherry enjoyed travel to many states and countries and she loved crosswords, books and needlecrafts, always making gifts for others. She never forgot to send a birthday card to friend or family, and always wrote a sincere personalized note. Sherry competed in the Miss Tulsa Pageant in an outfit she made herself, including hat and gloves.
