Sherri was born on December 6, 1942 in Mansfield, Ohio. She was the daughter of Herb and Bernice (Flickinger) Zehner. Sassy, hardworking, and independent, Sherri had a strong personality. She worked many manufacturing jobs, and retired from TE Connectivity. She lived life to the fullest and certainly embraced retirement with excitement and zeal. A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, family was very important to Sherri. Sparkle could always be found on Sherri, she loved bling and never came across a piece she didn’t love. She loved birds, especially hummingbirds, sports, the food network and a good cold diet pepsi.
Sherri leaves behind her children, Belinda Southard, Cathy (Mark) Switzer and Lori (Rick) Holden-Sjostedt; her grandchildren, Deiserea Holden, Alysha Applegate, Stephen Southard, Tori Keen, Trevor Southard; her great-grandchildren, Vayda and Lennon Applegate, Evelyn and Natalie Southard, Austin, Dustin and Caitlin Robinson; her great-great-grandchildren, Adalynn Cornell and Makenlee Robinson; her sister-in-law, Adora Zehner; nieces and nephews; and her fur babies, Lucy and Mitzy. She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Dan Zehner and Shelva Zehner; her grandson, Wesley Miller; and her fur baby, Sassy.
