Her roots ran deep, intertwining with the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing her. The news of her passing resonates as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact one person can have on a close-knit community.
The loss of Sherry is further compounded by the void left by the passing of her late husband, Michael Holden. As the widow of Michael, Sherry carried the weight of grief and loss with a strength that reflected her resilience.
The love they shared, though tested by the hands of fate, became an enduring part of Sherry’s story, influencing the way she navigated life’s challenges. Sherry’s 40 years were a mosaic of experiences, joys, and tribulations.

The echoes of her laughter and the genuineness of her spirit will be cherished by those who had the privilege of calling her a friend.
As we reflect on Sherry Lou Hill Holden’s life, we extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends. The pain of her absence is palpable, but let us remember her not in sorrow, but in celebration of a life that left an indelible mark.
May the memories of Sherry’s kindness and the love she shared provide solace to those who mourn her passing. In honoring Sherry, may we be inspired by the resilience she demonstrated in the face of adversity. May she rest in eternal peace, reunited with her late husband Michael, their love continuing to shine as a guiding light for those left behind.
