Sherry Whigam, born June 21, 1946, in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, Sherry lived a life defined by service, kindness and deep community roots.

She is also survived by her siblings: Mike Hale (wife Jean) and Andy Hale (wife Judy) ; sister-in-law, Marion Hale; and several nieces and nephews, each with special memories of time spent together.
