Sherry was a daughter of the late Andrew M. and June E. (Mandigo) VanOrnum and was born August 10, 1952, in Gouverneur, NY.
She started her education at Brasie Corners and graduated from Gouverneur Central School. She furthered her education at Mater Dei College in Ogdensburg where she received her bachelor’s degree.
Most recently she was a secretary for her daughter and son-in-law at Jenkins Heating & Cooling in Gouverneur. She will also be remembered for her time as a delivery driver for the Snack Shack in Richville.
Surviving are her four children, Jeremy Matice, Lisa Hicks, Michelle Cook, and Brandi Jenkins; and husband, Chuck; her grandchildren, Tyler and Zach Cummings, Morgen, and Emma Hicks, Kyle, Kiarra, Kendra and Kolby Jenkins and Caleb, Claire and Jerrica Matice; five great-grandchildren, with one on the way and two grand kitties. She is also survived by her siblings, Cindy Sibley, Karen (Rick) Shatraw, Linda Matice, Sharon “Inky” Matice, and Gary “Jughead” VanOrnum, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Sherry was an avid reader and watched Hallmark movies. She enjoyed talking on the phone with her sisters and spending special moments with her grand and great-grandkids. She loved Elvis, traditional country music especially Conway Twitty, and flannel shirts; most of all she loved her family and enforced them all to behave. Her famous mac and cheese will be missed by all.
