Sherry Kimsey Newbanks was born with coal black hair and two front teeth in York, Nebraska on November 10, 1960 to David and Nancy Cornish Kimsey.  Sherry attended school in Geneva, Nebraska until the fourth grade.  They then moved to Riverton Wyoming where she attended school until the eighth grade when her family moved to Gillette.  She graduated in 1979 from Campbell County High School.  She enjoyed her high school years with Ronda, Collie Jo, Mary Kay Klancie, Echo and Coy!

She was a member of the Church of Christ and loved to hang out with her kids and grandkids.  She liked to go fishing, play cribbage, penuckle, watch movies and loved auctions.  She sewed quilt tops with her friend Vickie. In 2003 Sherry was diagnosed with dermatomyositis with ILD, where she had to be on oxygen fulltime.

Thanks!
