Sherri Wilson

Sherri Lynn Wilson, age 56, passed away on August 14, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada, surrounded by family and friends, as they laid their hands on her in silent prayer. Sherri was born in Midland, Texas on March 15, 1955 to D.W. and Doris Pringle Wilson. The family moved to Las Vegas in 1965, where Sherri lived most of her life, aside from a few short stints in Washington and California.

Sherri was baptized in the Church of Christ in Lodi California. As a teen, she was a worthy advisor for the Rainbow Girls in Jackson, California. Sherri loved to laugh and she had a gentle smile. She enjoyed watching the Food Network Channel, country dancing, socializing with friends and family, traveling, camping with her RV group, panning for gold, and investing in real estate. Sherri loved the National Parks and it was her goal to collect stickers from each one. Most of all, Sherri loved playing with her nieces and nephews! She had plenty of practice entertaining youngsters as she was the Big Sister in her family. Strangers always had to ask which sister was the eldest, even though Sherri was- by twelve years! Her little sister always took it in stride and was proud of her beautiful Big Sis. Sherri worked for United Parcel Service & Federal Express as a driver and customer service representative, and was also a licensed real estate agent.

Sherri is survived by her parents, D.W. and Doris Pringle Wilson, sister Staci Leigh Shattler, brother-in-law Timothy Lee Shattler, nephew Zachary Lee Shattler and two nieces Annabelle Leigh Shattler and Tiffany Leigh Shattler, all of Boulder City. She also leaves behind many true and loving friends.

A celebration of Sherri's life will be held for her friends and family in early fall at her house, when temperatures are more conducive for an outdoor barbeque and playing ping-pong, making tie-dyed tee shirts, and driving remote-controlled trucks! In an effort to help others suffering from the ravages of liver disease, the family suggests donations be made in Sherri's memory to The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases at: http://www.aasld.org/donatenow Arrangements are under the care of Boulder City Family Mortuary. www.bouldercityfamilymortuary.com The family appreciates the kind consideration Tyson Smith of Boulder City Family Mortuary has shown them during this most difficult time.
