Sherry was born on October 16, 1942 in St. Peter to Carl and Lorraine (Krenik) Fahning. She was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran in St. Peter, where she was a lifelong member.

Sherry's strong faith in God, loving family and supportive friends helped her through her life's challenges. Sherry had a smile for everyone and loved sharing family memories and stories of growing up.

She also was a multiple winner of a Christmas card design contest. She competed in Special Olympics, belonged to an Alzheimer's support group as well as having befriended and ministered to many at the nursing home. Sherry was a very loyal Twins fan. She enjoyed writing, playing keyboard, doing arts and crafts, playing games and especially loved to be with family.
Sherry is survived by her mother, Lorraine of North Mankato; siblings: Janean Johnston of Arlington VA, Lyle (Jane) of Prior Lake, Linnea (George) Komaridis of Madison Lake and Bruce (Mary) of Cleveland; 12 nieces and nephews; 12 grand nieces and nephews and many other relatives. She was preceded in death by her father, Carl.
