Sherry married Robert C. Coons, of Houston, Texas on November 24, 1972. Together they enjoyed a life filled with laughter, good times and faith-filled living with family and friends. It is a union that began in love, thrived in love and concluded in love on this earthly place. It will be continued in Heaven, in the arms of Jesus Christ, in perfect love for all time.

Throughout her life, she touched those around her with love, kindness, compassion and selflessness. She found a calling to teach children with special needs. Her 27-year teaching career was filled with joy upon joy teaching and building relationships with children and their families. She took immense pride in creating a loving home for her family. Some of her favorite things included hosting large holiday gatherings for the family, relaxing at the cottage on Canyon Lake, building puzzles, reading, teaching Sunday school and serving in her local church.
