Both by submitting her art work and her tireless volunteering wherever she could help.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSherry was well liked and certainly well loved.  She was always reaching out to friends and neighbors offering help and support whenever she could.  Her neighbors loved her and her friends adored her young and old! There was always laughter when Sherry was around and she could tell a story that would make you laugh no matter how many times you heard it. We are still retelling her stories. Sherry’s generous spirit wasn’t reserved just for people.  She had an enormous soft spot for animals̶   all critters, really.  Her garden became something of a neighborhood sanctuary, where foxes, possums, and feral cats knew they could find a meal and a little kindness.  She cared especially for the feral cats in her area, making sure they were spayed, or neutered and even providing  little shelters with blankets to keep them warm through the winter.  If a creature needed looking after, Sherry was there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo this event will be a party to celebrate her love of art, creativity, family, community and friendship.   The project for the evening art party will be creating Artist Trading cards and\/or greeting cards.  All materials will be provided.  So just come with a happy attitude and the desire to spend an evening celebrating and sharing stories of someone very special.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYour hosts for the evening:  Lee Andersen, Becky Ripley, and Patti Euler\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDonation: $20.
