Sherry's obituary

Sheryl Ann (Sherry) was born October 15, 1955 to John and Norma Jean Rairdan in Phoenix, Arizona. She lived half her childhood enjoying Arizona and its mountain forests and desert saguaros that she loved so well as her favorite ever. The latter half of her childhood, she grew up in New Mexico and loved her Truth and Consequences. She grew up getting to cook a lot with her maternal Grandma Warner. Thus, how good she was at cooking up whole full stockpots of fresh homemade chocolate pudding and Big Hunk candy that was immaculate and her Tex Mex perfect Spanish rice and fried tacos and tostadas and meatloaf, etc. Hobby farm living was her way of life, growing up. She went into her adulthood being the best gardener, both of food and flowers. She always knew which plants were best for ailments and home remedies. She married young and had six children. In her adventurous life, her children were born in Arizona and Oregon and Washington. She taught all her children how to live simple and natural and enjoy life to the fullest. Sitting out on the grassy lawn in the sunshine and enjoying dandelions and dandelion wishes was a mainstay of visiting together with her children and eventually her grandchildren and even her great grandchildren. She always demonstrated that it’s the little things. She always encouraged her family to chase their dreams and goals and to always try to be happy, no matter what. She was feisty and sweet all wrapped up in a whirlwind. She was a family woman first and foremost. She moved to Missouri to be near her children and be with her daughter who birthed her firstborn grandson. She spent her older half of her life in Cameron, Missouri. Sherry passed away after 67 full well-lived years on June 24, 2023. She was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Michelle, decades ahead. She is survived by her daughters Christie, Angie, Amy, and by her sons Jack and David. She also was very proud of her couple dozen grandchildren and great grandchildren, and always bragged on her children and grandchildren. She was surrounded by family and love in her death. She will always be greatly missed.
