Sheri's obituary

Sharon "Sheri" Babb (née Perdue), born on January 28, 1944, in Pensacola, Florida, passed away on June 28, 2023, in Eatonton, Georgia. She was 79 years old. Sheri was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend whose presence left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She is survived by her three daughters, Melody, Kim, and Mindy and one son, Herbie, as well as eight cherished grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 40 years, Jesse Babb. For the last 25 years of her life, Sheri worked in retail sales and became a familiar face in the small town of Winder, Georgia, where she ran a video store that quickly became more than just a business—it was a community hub. Her warmth and candor made her unforgettable to customers and friends alike. Even after her passing, people continue to reach out asking about her, a testament to the deep connections she formed. Sheri had many passions that brought joy to both herself and those around her. She loved crocheting and had a talent for crafts and decorating. Her creativity shone through in everything she touched. A gifted cook, she delighted family and friends with meals made from the heart. Above all else, she treasured time spent with her grandchildren and adored her dogs. Known for being down-to-earth and unafraid to speak her mind, Sheri had a quirky sense of humor that could light up any room. She stood strong in her convictions and never hesitated to stand up for herself or others. Her honesty was refreshing; you always knew where you stood with Sheri. She helped many people throughout her life—quietly and without fanfare—and was deeply loved by those fortunate enough to know her. To those closest to her, especially her daughter Mindy who lovingly remembers Sheri as not only a mother but also a best friend, she was an unwavering source of support and love. Her memory lives on in the hearts of all who were touched by her strength, humor, and kindness. May Sharon "Sheri" Babb’s memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
