Sherry grew up on Salt Spring Island and moved to Victoria where she met Al. She raised 5 kids and welcomed their friends with open arms. She worked at St. Andrews Cathedral for 8 years, then worked in Government 20 years. When she retired, she helped raise her granddaughter and welcomed her friends too. She was blessed with a large circle of friends she met through St Andrews Cathedral and those she met in various stages of life. She was very spiritual and devoted to her faith in Jesus. Such a beautiful, kind soul, she loved to make people laugh and shared her kindness and warmth with all that met her. Mom taught us an appreciation for laughing, adventure, exploration, music, fine arts, creativity and science. She loved travelling and her favourite trips were Hawaii, the Rockies by train, and Disneyland with Celeste. She loved Musical Theatre, and our Christmas tradition of The Nutcracker on Stage. Mom, Ma, Gramma, Auntie, Sis, friend, go into the arms of Jesus, shine your beautiful light.
Thank you to the Nurses, Doctors and staff at RJH and Victoria Hospice.
A private Family funeral will be held, then interment at Royal Oak Burial Park. A Celebration of her Life will follow at a later date in 2021. In Lue of flowers, please donate to the B.C. cancer foundation or Victoria Hospice.
