She graduated from Okmulgee High School in 1976. She then followed in her father's footsteps in attending Oklahoma State University. Following graduation, she joined her father in his accounting practice, later to be known as Middleton & Dossey. Sherry continued in her work until her retirement in 2016. Sherry was a true woman of faith, and loved her God and the Lord Jesus Christ with all her heart and soul. She always strived to live out her faith every day, and along with her beloved husband, made sure her boys grew up in the knowledge and love of the Lord. She loved Christ's Church deeply as well; serving as Treasurer and Sunday School Teacher for many years at Southside Baptist Church. Above all else on this earth she loved her family; including her three dogs. No morning was complete for her until she had received a visit from all three the moment her treatment was finished. On October 2, 1982, she married the love of her life, Dennis, in Okmulgee. To their union was born three sons: Stephen, Aaron, and Brian. She never grew tired of supporting her sons no matter what life brought, and never failed to be present with words of encouragement, guidance, and love. On March 27, 2019, she faithfully finished her race and entered the arms of her Heavenly Father. But, before she entered His rest, she was blessed with two grandsons. Her eyes never ceased to light up on their presence. They were a constant source of joy in the greatest struggle of her life.
