In addition to playing piano, she had a talent for cooking and took great pleasure in preparing meals for her loved ones.

Sherry's warm smile and kind heart touched the lives of many, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter.

Sherry is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Willie Mae Peel; grandparents, Leonard and Mary Peel and Bill and Margaret Peysen; and brother, Calvin Wilhoit.

Sherry will be dearly missed by her loving family and friends. She is survived by her loving husband of 21 years, Richard Spinks; stepmother, Barbara Peel; brothers, Terry Peel, Mike Peel, and Jimmy Wilhoit; sisters, Connie Rye and Kay Watkins; special friends Bill and Virginia Nichols and Sheila Boggs; and a host of family and friends.
