Mrs. Williams worked at a daycare in Crown Point for nearly 25 years before retiring. She was always cheery and sweet with a genuine joy for life. She had a passion for music, which was instilled at a young age, and flourished throughout adulthood. She also enjoyed traveling, arts and crafts, going to the movies, and playing games. Family was paramount to Sherry - with her daughters and granddaughter holding an extra special place in her heart. She made the world a better place for those who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.

Private entombment of cremated remains will take place at Winamac Cemetery (McKinley Addition) in Winamac. The family will host a memorial gathering at a later date.
