It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Sherry's passing on Friday, October 18, 2024. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend. For such a small woman she had one of the biggest hearts ever known. Her compassion for those who were marginalized in our society knew no bounds. This was reflected in her career in human services with her last job, which she loved dearly, working as an ombudsman for Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging,
Sherry Lynn Woodard was born on December 8th, 1945, in San Francisco, California to Chuck and Jean Woodard. They moved to Omaha when Sherry was a young girl, and she graduated from Omaha North.
