Sherry graduated from Commerce High School in Worcester, Massachusetts. After graduating, her career took her down several paths, each one leaving her with friendships she treasured. She worked as a secretary for Salisbury Billing Associates, Barrett Centrifugals, and Coppus Engineering, and in her younger years flew the skies as a stewardess for American Airlines, a time she remembered fondly. Later, she joined the Department of Nursing at UMass Memorial Medical Center, where she worked from 1985 until her retirement in 2003.

Wherever life took her, Sherry collected friends. She stayed connected to people from every chapter of her life and never lost her appreciation for friendly conversation, a night out and a good drink.

Her grandchildren were one of the greatest joys of her life. She never missed an opportunity to talk about them and proudly share their accomplishments with anyone who would listen. She was deeply involved in their lives and always made time for them, whether they needed encouragement, advice, or simply someone to listen to. As "Mimi," she was loving, loyal, and fiercely honest. She was not afraid to tell them what they needed to hear, even when it was difficult, and they always knew they could count on her for support, guidance, and unconditional love.

One of Sherry's favorite traditions was Friday Happy Hour. It was her time to sit, talk, laugh, and enjoy the company of her family and friends, especially Leigh, Gracie, Joanie, Linda, Ruth and Lee. Weekend mornings found her enjoying coffee and conversation with the "Sparklers" from Cordis Mills, another group of friends who brought great happiness to her life.

As "Mimi," she was loving, loyal, and fiercely honest.

More than anything, she filled every room she entered with her unmistakable spirit and personality and leaves behind countless memories for those fortunate enough to have known her. Her family and friends will forever remember her stories, her resilience, her generosity, her sarcasm, and the love she shared.

We love you to the moon and back!
