After serving as a loving foster parent for many years, she and Steven were blessed with four beautiful children whom they love very much, Taylor-23, Jessica-19, McKay-14, and Faith-11. Together they were able to build a loving eternal family unit. Sheri will be missed greatly by her loving and adoring family. As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sheri was anxiously engaged throughout her life with many Church callings and positions, always serving and ministering faithfully. She loved serving in the Primary and would always count that opportunity to be among her favorites. She was a very valued employee and held many prominent positions with numerous local companies in Utah Valley. At the time of her passing she was employed by the Accounting Guys of Provo where she absolutely loved those she worked with. She had a wonderful work ethic and was loved by her employers and fellow peers. She was extremely dependable and a joy to be around. She was always happy and exuberant, brightening everyone's day that she came in contact with. She was very loving, kind, and selfless towards family, friends and extended family members. She never missed a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or other special occasion without sending a personalized card with a special, loving wish. She also never missed an opportunity to take pictures. Hallmark and Kodak will definitely feel our great loss! Sheri leaves behind an extensive family legacy. She will be deeply missed by her husband, Steven, and their four children: Taylor, Jessica, McKay and Faith. She was preceded in death by her Father, Dale Pearson, and will be greatly missed on a daily basis by her sweet mother, VerLynne Pearson. Sheri has left a huge and unfillable void with all of her siblings: Randy (Toni), Brad (Cathy), Lynette (Mark) Bateman, Ryan (Jennifer). She truly loved and cared greatly for her husband and children. She also had a very special compassion and love for all of her nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
