Sherron loved her husband and family. Her greatest memories were times spent working and playing together. She worked side by side with her husband raising mink. She loved her flowers and growing a garden. They always raised a big enough garden to can for their family and share the extra produce with neighbors and friends. She had many various health problems over the course of her life, but through them all, she never lost her faith or her cheerful dispostion.

She also loved her savior and serving in any capacity that he would like her to serve. She served in several organizations and calling but the most daunting one to her was Gospel Doctrine teacher. But she took that challenge on and did a marvelous job with it and loved studying the gospel in depth. She had a great compassion for those around her and loved serving the widows in the ward. She taught her family by her example.

Sherron is survived by her five children Tammy (Morlyn) Seamons, of Lewiston, UT; Curtis (Lesa) Whitehead, of American Fork, UT; Shanna (Stephen) Bingham, of Kearns, UT; Bryan of Franklin, ID; and Tiffany (Mike) Palmer of Tremonton, UT; 15 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
