Sherry Lynn Meservy Bitter, 79, of Spring City, Utah, passed peacefully through the veil from her home on Dec. 20, 2017, of natural causes. At her passing, she was surrounded by her loving family.
Sherry was born Sept. 16, 1938, in Logan, Utah, to Maggie Mae Porter and Lynn C. Meservy. She graduated from high school in Logan, Utah, in 1956 and was crowned Logan City Dairy Princess. She attended Utah State University.
She married G. Robert Bitter on Oct. 23, 1959, in the Logan Utah LDS Temple. They are the parents of seven children, one of whom greeted her on the other side. Following their marriage, they moved to a ranch near Swan Valley, Idaho, and then spent three years in Managua, Nicaragua, but most of the family was raised on the ranches in Swan Valley, Idaho, and Dayville, Oregon.
Twenty-nine grandchildren call her Grammy Sherry, and 31 great-grandchildren call her Great-Grammy Sherry.
Her life was lived for her loving family. Music was one of her many talents and her family grew up singing together around her piano. She was also an artist and many of her beautiful oil paintings hang in homes around the country.
She and Bob started their retirement with an LDS mission in Concepcion, Chile. She had a great love for the people of Chile and Nicaragua. Following their mission, they served several years as ordinance workers in the Manti Utah LDS Temple.
She is survived by her husband, Bob, of Spring City, Utah; their children, Robert Lynn (Theresa), of Mesa, Arizona; Rachelle (Steve) Craig, of Emmett, Idaho; Solana (Matthew) Carlisle, of Farmington, Utah; Saebra (Greg) Muller, of Spring City, Utah; Sonia (Brian) Olmstead, of Spring City, Utah; and G. Ryan (Deana), of San Tan Valley, Arizona; son-in-law, Layne (Rebecca) Pittman, of Roosevelt, Utah; brothers, Michael (Marilyn) Meservy and Brad Meservy, both of Salt Lake, Utah.
