Sherry was united in marriage to Kenneth Eggers, February 10, 1962, and they celebrated twenty-three years of marriage before his passing in 1985.

She worked as a medical transcriptionist at St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, MN before her retirement. Sherry filled her days with hobbies such as knitting, gardening, photography, watching for deer, birds and snowy owls, listening and singing to music, Suduko, and many “brain games.” She was insatiably curious about current events and her kids’ lives. Sherry loved people; her family, her friends current and from her past. She was incredibly quick witted and loved to laugh. She was often described as “feisty”. Sherry had dear friends she swam and lunched with from the Superior YMCA a member of “The Sisterhood of the Faded Swimsuits.”
