Sherrill worked for the Ministry of Natural Resources for 22 years, and then became a Personal Support Worker for over 20 years. A natural and genuine professional within the health-care system. To family and friends close to her, she was also a very kind & healed soul, a caregiver to help, a counsellor to listen, an excellent robust cook, an enthusiastic swimmer, and a very best of friend, mother & grandmother a person could ask for.
