Every year since 2004 Sherry and Larry would load up the camper, the pups and head south to escape the Iowa winter and soak up the warmth of Texas, Arizona and Nevada. If you asked her where the casinos were along the way she could tell you exactly where to go and if she won or lost. She enjoyed family gatherings, gardening, taking photos and sharing stories about the adventures she and Larry had on their travels. Sherry was a member of All Saints Catholic Church.
Sherry’s memory will be cherished by her loving husband of 52 years, Larry Wilson; children, Shelly Wilson Greer of Lake Charles, Louisiana, Todd (Pam) Wilson of Johnston, IA and Tracy Wilson of Des Moines, IA; her grandchildren Abbie (Woodie) Bonds of Kansas City, MO, Molly Onken of Baltimore, MD and Zoe Wilson of Johnston, IA; great granddaughter Violet Bonds; her siblings, Michael (Nancy) Hogle of Manteca, CA, and Tony (Kathy) Hogle of Clarion, IA; nephews and nieces, in addition to other loving relatives and special friends.
The family will greet friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, November 8, 2015 at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue, Des Moines, IA. Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, November 9, 2015 at All Saints Catholic Church, 650 NE 52nd Avenue, Des Moines, IA. Internment will follow at Pine Hill Cemetery, 508 NW 54th Ave. Des Moines, IA.

"To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that." ~ Saint Teresa of Avila~
--COR, the root word of courage, Latin for HEART. It is my belief that courage and love are so intertwined, that you cannot have one without the other. That is Sherry Wilson. Only once did I meet her, but the qualities of these two virtues surpassed all. How special is one's heart that when you think of them, you smile. God blessed you all with two great parents. It was an honor to spend time with them both. Praying for your family, may you have the courage to continue on, always feeling the love of a mother, wife, and courageously loving soul.

We are still in a state of disbelief. Winters in AZ will not be the same without Sherry's stories.
We are so sorry for our families' loss and will cherish the fond memories.
Larry, we hope that AZ can still be part of your winter getaway. Family dinner awaits you!!!
Hugs........

I am so sorry for your loss!! Sherry was always so much fun...never a dull moment or boring story! We loved her company and I'm pretty sure I will always be remembered as little Tina Turner that loved to dance and sing and was terrified of the big dogs. Love to you all.

Sherry was part of the Student Services Team @ DMACC. She was very good with the students she worked with and a great team member. She could always see the bright side of any situation. Our team shared many neat times both at work and away.
Our heart goes out to you, her family. She will leave a void in many of our lives.
HUGS
