Sherri dedicated her professional life to shaping the future of healthcare as the Nursing Division Chair at Lamar State College-Orange Nursing Program. She took immense pride in her work, passionately sculpting the nurses of today with unwavering commitment. Her devotion extended deeply to her Catholic faith, which guided her through life.
Beyond her professional calling, Sherri embraced life with joy and enthusiasm. She loved being in, on, and around the water. Her heart was full when spending time with her cherished family and "framily." Sherri was also a vibrant participant in Mardi Gras, proudly reigning as the Queen of "One More." She loved music of all kinds - she knew every word, to every song, from every decade. She adored spending time with her children and grandchild, and her beloved dog, Josi, held a special place in her heart.
