She was blessed with the gift of a listening ear, the ability to accept everyone, and a heart that gave unconditional love. She was an avid reader and loved to learn. She loved camping with friends and family as they watched the fires glow. She noticed the details about the world around her such as the beautiful golden leaves, blooming wildflowers, and mountain views which were appreciated by her often. Sheri loved her family very much and was extremely loyal to them. She would go out of her way for them, and sacrifice greatly so that they felt loved and appreciated. She had three grandsons that she absolutely adored, and they were the light of her life even in dark times. She was rarely without one of her sisters, and they truly were her best friends. She is survived by her husband, Leslie; her children, Raquel (Hyrum) Oaks, and Ben Cox; her grandchildren, Matthew, James and Ethan; her father, Max Larsen; her sisters and their spouses, Gayle (Kent) Brown, Barbara (Jon) Crawford, April (Chris) Satchwell, and brother Guy (Kelly) Larsen.
