Sheri's greatest love in life was her family. She enjoyed spending time with her family, cooking, and baking sweets for them to enjoy. She especially loved being with her great-granddaughter, Luna. She enjoyed time out on the lake fishing with her partner, Ron. Sheri and Ron went on many adventures together, including special trips to Florida, Mexico, Mackinac Island, and Door County. In her free time, Sheri loved going to the casinos around the area.

Sheri is survived by her loving daughter, Tammy (Chad Steffens) Schacht; her granddaughter, Brandi (Travis Gagnon) Ferron; great-granddaughter, Luna; her special friend, Ron Matuszewski and his family; her brothers: Dennis (Barb) Collins and Bob (Marcia) Collins; and her close friend, Nancy Sommers; Sheri is further survived by many nieces, nephews and other loved ones.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Collins and her father, John E. (June) Collins.

Sheri's family would like to thank the Goodman EMTs, The Forest County Police Department, Dickinson County ICU, and Aurora BayCare ICU for all of their compassionate care and support.
