Those beloved family who have gone before her include her father Louis Collier and her sister Janet Mudd. In addition to being a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend,
Sherry was passionate about serving others through Mt. Olivet Christian Church. She impacted many young lives leading Vacation Bible School and children’s programs over the years. Sherry was a creative at heart and her crafts and drawings have been loved by many.

Dennis and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Sherry passing. She had an impact in the lives of many, and will be sadly missed.
I pray peace for all during this difficult time. You and Sherry blessed our family so much over the years, I
can’t thank you enough. God Bless! Marcie (Gabriel) Lewis

Dennis, Marcus, and Rachel, we are so sorry for your loss. Randy and I were blessed when Sherry became part of our family when Catherine married the love of her life, Marcus. We always enjoyed her visits to Chattanooga, and the time spent together during birthday and holiday celebrations will be treasured memories. One of my fondest memories of Sherry is sitting together watching our grandchildren play. We were both beaming with pride, bragging to each other (which grandmothers can shamelessly do!) about how smart and adorable they were. She loved to share stories about Tyler and Jack, her eyes twinkling as she told me of their achievements in school and how they were growing and thriving. Sending our love and prayers to all. Sherry will be deeply missed.

We are so very sorry for your loss. We know Sherry is now with with our amazing Heavenly Father. What a joy it was to know Sherry. I always remember her doing puppets for us as a children. She was always smiling, full of energy, and bringing joy to whomever she was speaking with. May God comfort and encourage you during this time.

Please know we truly Love your family, and your beautiful wife, Mother, will be missed. We will keep you Close at Heart and in Prayer.
With Love to all. Hope to see you again very soon.
