Tribute

Sherry Gail Taylor passed peacefully to be with her Lord and many loved ones on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Sherry was born in Northridge, California. She was the older sister of two siblings. She married twice, and both husbands preceded her in death. She was an amazing aunt and an entertaining conversationalist. Sherry was a graduate of Tulare Western High School, where she was involved in several clubs and held office as well. She remained friends with many of her classmates and treasured their friendship to the very end of her time here on earth. During high school, Sherry got a work-study job in a local law firm, and a lifelong career began. Sherry was a legal secretary for 30 years and absolutely loved the profession. She had an amazing gift of memory and organization, and excelled in whatever position she held. After her time as a legal secretary, she worked at her church for a period of time. After she became I’ll, she still volunteered at her church and enjoyed it immensely. Anyone who knew Sherry knew she was passionate about many things, but particularly dogs and music, in that order. She was a dog owner and lover all her life and thought about them every day to the very end. As a young child, Sherry and her family sang music together in church, which she continued into adulthood. During the 1970s, she sang with her mom and sister in the Taylor Trio on a weekly radio program called The Gospel Rangers, produced by Reverend Leo Harrison, pastor of the Tulare Foursquare Church at that time. Sherry treasured that period of her life. She listened to Southern Gospel Music continuously and left it on in her house when she went somewhere to entertain her dogs. She also loved the country music of George Strait. She was always happy to go to concerts and plays and read a good mystery book. Sherry was a kind, thoughtful, and generous person to both those she loved and to total strangers. Sherry bravely fought cancer for ten years. She was told it would be much less. She chose to donate her body to science in hopes that she might help someone else in the future.
