A family tribute to an amazing lady, Sherri Garrett Baldwin
Born: August 25, 1955 – Received in Heaven: June 17, 2018
"God is incredible. I knew from the very first time I saw Sherri that she was the one chosen for me. The day I met her I found myself stopping at green lights, lost in thoughts about her. I called my mother in North Carolina that night and told her I had found the woman I was going to marry. Of course Sherri didn’t know that yet. We hadn’t even been on a date. To my utter amazement, she said yes when I did ask her.
Our first date was to a Memphis Rogues soccer game. That was the beginning of the most wonderful journey of my life. Sherri was the most selfless person I have ever known. Her self-stated purpose in life was to help make other people’s lives better. She fulfilled her purpose. God must be well pleased. Sherri approached every challenge with an “I can do that” attitude, and if she didn’t know how, she learned. From Girl Scout leader to homeschool art teacher, Tae Kwon Do instructor, water aerobic instructor, knitter and spinner, fossil and mineral hunter, mother and wife, Sherri poured herself into the lives of the people around her. She was passionate about life. I am honored and privileged that God allowed me to be her husband. Sherri, my dear beloved wife, I miss you incredibly, I love you eternally, and I know your light is shining bright in Heaven". -- Mike
"Mom was the most incredible woman. Words cannot express what she meant to me. She was the strongest, kindest person I have ever known. She was our rock. She fought until the very last and taught me what true faith, strength, and courage look like. She showed me how to live life with joy and love for everyone. Even in her greatest suffering she was strong and selfless. She was such an incredible blessing–a true light for Christ. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it weren’t for her. I will love you always, Mom! I know God has great plans for you by His side in Heaven." -- Jennifer
“We lost a giant on June 17. She was a pillar of strength. She held us all together. She was the voice of reason. She made us think about every decision to help us move our lives in the right direction. She has been my ultimate support in every endeavor. She encouraged me to go back to school and continued every day to encourage me forward. She just got more beautiful each day and never understood her own beauty. She has shown her great faith, her courage, and her beautiful selfless heart throughout this journey. I am so incredibly blessed to have Sherri Baldwin as my mother. We were asking for a miracle but the miracle God gave us was her. We know God’s plan is perfect and He is not surprised. She is completely healed and perfect in Heaven. I love you so much, Mom. I am who I am because of you.” -- Kelly
