Sherry DrewShirley Mae “Sherry” (Hunter) Drew, age 83, went home to be with her Lord on Friday, Feb. 15, 2019.  She was born February 5, 1936 in Akron, Ohio.  Sherry (she preferred this name) was a loving wife, mom, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a wonderful cook and enjoyed celebrating holidays and special meals with her family and friends. She had a way of making sure that when you spent time in her home it was relaxing, comfortable and filled with loving hospitality.

She loved the Lord and volunteered in many ministries throughout the years from teaching Sunday School to working with missionaries.  Sherry was a member of Immanuel Bible Church.   She was a wonderful example of a Godly woman and left a spiritual legacy for her family to follow and continue. We will never be able to thank her enough for teaching us and leading us to follow the Lord. Her example will indeed have eternal impact.

Also surviving a brother William (Lucy) Hunter of Akron, Ohio and sister Karen (Lou) Leo of Laguna Nigel, California.
