Sherra Lynn Pennell, she was known by Sherry to most. She loved the Lord and her family. She always told her children we may not have much, but we have love. That love is why she worked and sacrificed for her family and gave 53 years to her husband through thick and thin. She worked for 41 years in the restaurant industry and known by many for her service. Her hard work and dedication were all for her family. She was best known for her cooking and how it was her ministry. If you ever were invited over or had something brought to you it was because she felt lead to do so. She made everything with love and wanted it known, and that it was made just for you. She had a knack for figuring out just what you liked and made it. As she made traditions something special for her family and friends anyone was welcome always at her door.
