Sherry was an avid quilter and seamstress, and was known for her quilts, bags, memory bears, and donating her talents to those in hospice. Sherry and her dog, Addison spent many hours volunteering in the schools to assist kids in reading. Sherry was a devoted Cubs fan, and music lover and attended many concerts with her kids. Sherry was a stranger to no one. Sherry’s pride and joy was her family, and she treated anyone who loved someone she loved, as part of that family.  

Lexie and Morgan Percifield born of Brian Percifield and Katie Golinvaux were the light of her life. She spent many joyous hours teaching them how to craft, quilt, and bake. From the words of Morgan Percifield “she was my best friend…she had a way with people, she was such a light. She always shared Jesus. She loved people fiercely”.
