Beyond her professional and familial dedication, Sherrin enjoyed riding horses, indulging in mystery novels, engaging in spirited card games, and crocheting. A devoted fan of *The Young and the Restless* and Elvis Presley, she found joy in her daily routines and cherished moments with family and friends.

She is survived by her children, Randy Ray Grimes, Carolyn Elizabeth Burdett, and Peter Jay Massing; ten grandchildren; six great grandchildren; and a great-great grandchild on the way.
