She retired from Department in 2005 as an Administrative Officer after 32 years of dedicated service to the State of Oklahoma and her clients that she helped receive services. Sheri enjoyed her family and spent many hours visiting her parents in Seminole and attending to their needs in their later years. She always had a dog, even as a child. Her happy time was sitting with her dogs in her lap and at her feet. During her last year of life while struggling with her cancer, she received many encouraging visits and phone calls from her cousins Narva, Joyce, Steve, Charlie and Dwight. She was loved by her immediate and extended families, and will be missed. Graveside services will be held, 11:00 A.M., Wednesday, June 10, 2015 at Maple Grove Cemetery in Seminole, Okla.
