Age 24. Suddenly on December 16, 2006. Beloved daughter of Ronald and Stephanie. Dear sister of Brandon. Loving granddaughter of Pauline and the late Harvey Burke and the late Anthony and Antonina Mule'. Loving girlfriend of Jeremy. Also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Sherry was a 2000 graduate of Adlai Stevenson High School in Sterling Hts. where she enjoyed being part of the dance and drama teams.

Sherry was a wonderfully sweet girl who was tragically killed by a drunk/high driver. She was returning home after a quick visit to a friend's party, where she was playfully teased over her love life with the song 'Sherry' by the Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, when she was hit head on by a teen going the wrong way on a one way street.

Both alcohol and marijuana were found in the car and many wonder why the teen even had a license to be able to drive that night in the first place. He was formally arrested while in class at his high school and, even though his lawyer tried to get him off with several different stories, he was charged with Sherry's murder (along with other felonies) and sent to prison. His earliest release date is 2016 but nothing will ever bring Sherry back.
