Born September 1, 1957, in Mesa, Arizona, Sherry is the daughter of Tillman James Rackley and Ruth Marie Huggins Moore. She was a great mother, grandmother, and great grandmother- the glue that held the family together.
Sherry René Baggett was known by many names—sweetheart, Sugar, Momma, Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Sherry—but no matter what you called her, you knew you were loved. Sherry had a love for life’s little joys. She took great pride in her Native American heritage and enjoyed learning about her ancestry and the generations that came before her. She loved getting her hair done, anything turquoise, hummingbirds, cardinals, dancing, listening to Willie Nelson, and of course, a good trip to the casino. Above all, Sherry loved her family, especially her two daughters, Desirae and Delainey, who held a special place in her heart. She cherished her sisters and brother and loved bringing everyone together. She especially enjoyed hosting holidays and parties, filling her home with family, laughter, dancing, and memories. She loved a good family game night, whether it was checkers, Pictionary, Yahtzee, or everyone’s favorite, Kids Charades. There was never a shortage of laughter when Sherry was around. Although she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she has been reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband. Sherry will forever be remembered for her laughter, her love, her pride in her roots, and the countless memories she leaves behind. Her spirit will live on in every family gathering, every game night, every Willie Nelson song, every dance, and every hummingbird and cardinal that comes our way. Forever loved and forever missed, our Momma, Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Sherry.
