Sherry grew up in Nebraska and South Dakota.  She has a family history with Rosebud Reservation, with several family members having lived and worked there. Her father taught her to learn about and respect the Indians and their culture. Sherry became interested in mission work with the Lakota Indians when her youngest son was on youth teams that went to Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota for two years. She was trained as a short term mission leader by South American Missionary Society and Mission International in 1999.  She has been training and leading mission teams to Rosebud Reservation since 2001.  In addition to teams from Texas, she has trained teams in Connecticut, Virginia, Tennessee, New York, and Missouri  for mission trips to Rosebud.  She attended New Wineskins for Global Mission, a conference held every three years, in 2000 and 2003. She, Roz Rowan, and Michael Plenty Horse (from Rosebud) conducted two workshops on preparing teams for American Indian Ministry at New Wineskins for Global Misson 2010. The workshops were well attended and received. NAIM also had an exhibit table at the conference.  For 3 years, Sherry was a member of the World Mission Board in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. A retired registered nurse, she is divorced with three grown children (two sons and a daughter) and two granddaughters.
