Sherry was a dog lover especially German Shepherds.  She also was a Pittsburgh Steelers Fan!!  Sherry's favorite meals that she enjoyed cooking for her family and friends were scalloped potatoes, potato salad, fried potatoes,fried chicken wings and her famous "cheeseburgers".  Sherry's favorite phrase that she would always say, "It's Going to Be All Good Baby"!
