Sherry was born in Eugene, OR, and moved to Tehachapi, CA, when she was five years old where
she was raised until moving back to the Eugene area in 1998 with husband Dan and two children
- Jordan & Kayla. Soon after, they added Lindsey & Megan to their family and moved to Salem,
OR, where they continued to raise their family. All Sherry's kids are now grown and starting
families of their own. She has two grandsons - Seb & Theo from her son Jordan; two
granddaughters - Maisie & Millie from daughter Kayla (and husband Jeremiah); a
granddaughter, Bryn (due in the spring) from daughter Lindsey (and husband Dalton); and she
would be remiss to leave out her grand-kitties from daughter Megan (and her significant other
Andrew). Sherry and husband Dan have been married for 28 years, and look forward to at least
28 more!
​
Sherry has been involved in a variety of volunteering and non-profits over the years, and when
she saw the opportunity to join the Salem Angels team, she knew she needed to pursue it. Sherry
loves children, and believes that all people deserve to be loved, embraced, and accepted. She
desires healing and wholeness for all, and believes wholeheartedly that every person is a child of
God and has value and worth. She is excited to serve as Program Manager with Salem Angels
and the adventure to come!
