After 17 years, she retired from her job at the school due to medical issues and decided to return to her calling to be a traveling Gospel singer again with her band. Sherry loved the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and cruising. She often talked about her desire to move to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and her next cruise adventure. She loved animals too.
