Mary was born in Florien, Louisiana on January 24, 1940 the daughter of the late Dennis Holmes and Gladys Gay Holmes. Mary attended nursing school in Midland, Texas. She began her career in 1965 as a nurse serving Veterans and she worked in military hospitals in Virginia, Texas and California until 2007. Mary met the love of her life, Clayton Sherin at the NCO Club. They married and she enjoyed one of the most blessed marriages God could bestow on someone. Mary and Clayton had five children and a number of grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, whom they adored. She wanted each member of her family to know she loved them from the very bottom of her heart. To know Mary was to love her and all those adoring qualities she possessed. She loved shopping at Ross Department Store and enjoyed playing scrabble and gin rummy with her family. Pinochle was the best and was definitely the family tradition.
She is survived by her beloved husband of fifty-seven years, Clayton Sherin, children: Willie Sherin, Janice Parker, Alfredia Devita, Sherman Sherin and Thalia Sherin; brothers and sisters: Dorothy Evans, Herbert Holmes, Rosetta Webster, Kenneth Ray Holmes, Lynette Davis, Denitha Holmes, and Joyce Holmes; twenty two grandchildren, thirty three great grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by a host of family members.
