She founded the ubiquitous Daley Debutantes Baton and Drum Corps when she was just 15 years old. From early childhood through college graduation, Sherry and her sisters were professional baton twirlers sharing the vaudeville stages with Al Jarreau and Liberace. Sherry earned national acclaim as the Junior National Champion Majorette, performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, and was invited to lead the Wisconsin delegation as the Head Majorette for President Kennedy’s Inauguration parade. A graduate of Marquette University, Sherry was the featured twirler and oboist with the Warrior band. Sherry earned a degree in elementary education. While raising her three children, Sherry ingratiated herself into the Christ King, DSHA, Pius, and MUHS communities volunteering and spearheading various organizations. She later served as a director and teacher at the Mary Linsmeier Preschools. Recognizing her leadership and contributions to the community, Milwaukee Magazine named her “One of Milwaukee’s Most Interesting People of 1986.” Nothing made Sherry happier than all things Irish, spending time with family and friends, taking her grandchildren on adventures, teaching baton twirling, and showcasing her Daley Debs in parades. “Once a Deb, Always a Deb”
