Marx; her parents, Boone B. and Faye Jarie Patterson; her sister, Bernice Moore Whaley Patterson; and her brother Melvin Eugene Patterson.

Sherrill was born May 21, 1935. Her main passion in life was caring for her family and home. She enjoyed sewing, crochet, knitting, learning new cooking techniques, and experimenting with new recipes. Her personality was a unique blend of "old school" values, a high level of intellectual curiosity, love of nature, and devotion to family and friends. She tirelessly pursued perfection in all she did. She held herself to a higher standard than anyone else. She was a happy butterfly, very independent, and a fierce protector. Her special outlook on life will be missed by many she touched, however briefly, over the years.

She retired from the USAMC Materiel Readiness Support Activity, Lexington Army Depot on September 2, 1990. Some of her prior occupations included tax preparer for H&R Block, and secretarial work for various construction firms as well as Tinker Air Force Base. Special people that gave her comfort and assistance over the years were: Dr. Barry Purdom, along with Brenda, Susan, and Shirley, and Attorney Gary Rohrer.
