Sherry graced this world with her presence on April 24, 1955 in Memphis, Tennessee as one of the three daughters born to the late Reginald and Nadine Roberts. Sherry White was a woman whose life was shaped by creativity, kindness, and a deep love for the simple joys that made each day meaningful. She found happiness in painting and crafting birdhouses, taking pride in creating things that brought beauty and life to her surroundings. Her home reflected her nurturing spirit, filled with flowers and carefully tended plants that she loved dearly. Sherry enjoyed quiet moments with her word search books and could often be found watching hummingbirds, finding peace in their gentle presence. Cooking for her family was one of her greatest pleasures, and she showed her love through the meals she prepared and the time spent gathered around the table. She especially loved watching Hallmark Christmas movies, embracing the warmth, hope, and tradition they brought to the season. Sherry also had a special place in her heart for dogs, who were more than pets—they were family. Charlie, Mr. Black, Cooper, and Spence were constant companions who brought her comfort, joy, and unconditional love. Sherry White will be remembered for her caring heart, her creative spirit, and the quiet ways she made the world around her more beautiful. Her love for family, animals, and life’s small blessings will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Sherry leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life in her absence; one daughter, Christiana Allen and her husband Charles of Water Valley; one son, Daniel “Duck” White of Oxford; six grandchildren: Brittany Baldwin of Oxford, Emily Hall of Abbeville, Danielle White of Oxford, Alexis White of Oxford, Tyler Allen of Lakeland, Tennessee, and Jonathan Allen of Oxford; and, one adopted AJ Buchannan of Oxford two great grandchildren, Sadie Depriest of Abbeville, and Jak Allen of Lakeland, Tennessee; two sisters; Joan Skidmore of Port Charlotte, Florida; and Joy Butler and her husband Chip of Port Charlotte, Florida.
