Sheri was a loving, loyal, and devoted Mother, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. Her entire life she was a die-hard Saints fan “WHO DAT” and an avid reader and writer. She loved Cajun cooking especially a good gumbo. Her signature gumbo required a dark roux because there was no other acceptable way. She coached many of us to “PUSH THAT ROUX” when we called for assistance.

Sheri was loved and adored by many friends and family throughout her life. She was the light in every room.

Sheri would never allow life to become too busy for those she loved. She was selfless and enjoyed life with a unique and definitive sense of humor. She was always smiling and willing to help others. She had a way of making others experience peace, happiness and of course laughter when she was near. Her kindness and compassion are the beautiful gifts she gave each person who was lucky enough to meet her.

Sheri was a graduate of Ellender High School of Houma, attended Nicholls State University and Louisiana State University. Sheri was employed as Manager of Donations for Agnes Scott College in Atlanta. She loved literature and poetry and was studying at Agnes Scott toward an English Literature Degree.

Sheri was a moderator for a book group for years and she wrote a short story that was in an anthology published for charity. She was a gifted and natural writer with the best instincts. Sheri was in the middle of writing a book with the most amazing characters and had strong aspirations of having her book published for the world to enjoy.

Pallbearers will be: Owen Dixon, Jackson Dixon, Tyler (Charlie) Dixon III, Andy Dupre, Bart Domangue, and Keith St. Pierre.
