With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Sherry Cole (Belleville, Illinois), born in Champaign, Illinois, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Sherry left this world on January 23, 2025 at the age of 80, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Sherry Cole to show support.
As Sherry departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Sherry may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Sherry leaves behind.
