There were many chapters in Sheri’s book of life, it began on April 24, 1958 in Tulsa, OK, when she was welcomed into the world. She discovered her love of travel at a very early age which led to adventures in Hawaii, Mexico, Ireland and many more points across the continental United States. She made the Kansas City area her home and raised her family here. No matter where she was, and for how long she stayed, she never met a stranger. She turned cherished memories into lifetime connections and reconnections! She brought light into all situations and made the world a better and happier place. Family was a top priority and she cherished time spent with her beloved children and grandchildren.
She is survived by her mother Louella, her children; Jen (Jeremy), Becky and Chris, her grandchildren Jacob and Daniel, her siblings; Cathy, Patti and Mike and a host of extended family and friends.
She devoted her life to serving others including government, union and nursing. Most recently she combined her love of travel with her love of service with the Veterans Administration Travel Nurse Corp.
When we were much younger, Sheri and I danced–well I danced while she stood on my feet, to the tune of “Sisters” from the movie “White Christmas.” She danced to the tune of many different drummers in her life and left numerous footprints on our hearts. My soul is hurting for the sorrow we share at Sheri’s passing. Love ya baby sis–keep on dancing!!

Thank you so very much for sharing your mom with Larry and I. We loved her more than she could have possibly known. We made so many precious memories in just this last little bit of time we had reconnected, but it was truly like we had never been apart at all. I cherish those memories and love the family she allowed me to become a part of.

This world has lost a precious soul, heaven gained a loving angel. You will be missed by so many but never forgotten.. I remember when we were in 7th grade and you loved being a candy striper I’m so proud of you for fulfilling your life long dream of becoming a nurse. RIP my dear friend, continued prayers for comfort and healing for your family.
Sheri lived with our family in Hawaii. We both moved all over but stayed in touch. I learned a lot from her.. I just can not believe she is gone. She always had lots of wonderful things to say about you kids!!! Love and prayers.
Where to begin? Elementary School in Tulsa? Where you were so wise, already. You harassed me, entertained me, stimulated my thoughts, daily. You’ve been in my heart since those days. Love you, my dear friend. I could recall so much more. You love your family so much! It’s beautiful. You were my soulmate. Who is this for? Who would understand? You.
My condolences for the family and their loss. I met Sheri at the VAMC where we immediately became friends and hung out numerous of times. She was a brave fearless woman who viewed the world as her playground. I lived viciously through her adventures and travels. It was pleasure to have known her. I will truly miss my friend.
Sheri, sorry we never made it zip lining, but I’m sure your making your impact in heaven. She was a pleasure to know. My prayers are with all her family and friends.
Our thoughts are with the family that is experiencing a loss of a love one! We met Sheri at Jen and Jeremy Smither’s wedding in Randolph , Vermont. She certainly added to the celebration ! “The Family Circle is Broken”, but the fond memories will last forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Jen, Jeremy and family,
Such a big loss for you all. We are praying and are so sorry.
With love,
Robert, Ruth and Mariatu
I had the pleasure of being Sheri’s CNA Instructor. She was such a caring and compassionate person. I was so proud of her and her accomplishments and how far she had taken her nursing career. I ran back into her when she was the nurse assigned for my fathers care at KCVA. She put my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands for his care. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to Sheri and her family.
