Sherry was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Detroit, Michigan. She attended First Presbyterian Church of Houston.

Sherry was a kind and gentle soul, who was incredibly thoughtful and fiercely loyal to all she knew. She loved to travel. Her last visit to the Philippines in 2012 was one she especially enjoyed and had hoped to go back one more time. She also enjoyed cooking, and listening to contemporary jazz. She loved animals especially her pups Sophie and Jack. Sherry was happy spending time with her family and friends.

She leaves behind her loving mother, Erlina; and loving sisters, Ruby Castro and Debbie Castro; and a multitude of cousins and aunts locally and nationally in the US and internationally in The Philippines.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the Oncologists and staff at the Houston Methodist Cancer Center in The Texas Medical Center; and everyone at The Container Store Galleria who have been a loving family and amazing supporters from the very beginning.
