She was born January 28, 1959, in Joliet, IL where she was raised and educated. She attended St. Francis Academy and Joliet West High School and went on to receive her R.N. degree from Joliet Junior College. She held various roles as a nurse in the healthcare industry from 1986 through 2018.

Sheri enjoyed caring for many beloved dogs throughout her life. She had the most special affection for Lucky, for whom she enjoyed long walks to the park and sunset strolls on the beach. Her favorite hobbies included riding her Harley through the mountains, boating on Old Hickory Lake, listening to music, and tending to her many plants.
Sheri loved fiercely and generously went out of her way to help anyone in need. From preparing football team dinners to family holiday feasts, no one was a stranger at Sheri’s table.
