She was a kind-hearted individual whose generosity knew no bounds.
Sherry loved music and enjoyed playing the piano. She was the pianist for many years at Kellyton Methodist Church. She especially enjoyed 80's music and loved singing along in her soft, sweet voice with an uncanny ability to recall the lyrics to almost every song. She loved to visit the beach, listening to the waves, and soaking up the sun while sipping Coke and doing word search puzzles. The only thing she loved more than the beach was spending time with her daughter, Brandy. They took many trips to the beach together, making memories they often reflected back on with smiles and laughter. Additionally, she had a special bond with her best friend, Sandra, who accompanied them on many of those trips. She and Sandra spent many hours together thrifting, always in search of a great bargain.Sherry was preceded in death by her infant daughter Marla Shannon Melton, father Roy Yancy Shivers, Mother Virginia Sasser Shivers, and brother Gary Bryan Shivers.She is survived by her daughter Brandy Melton(Robin) of Prattville, sister-in-law Judy Shivers of Goodwater, niece Dawn Shivers Lane (Michael) of Villa Rica, GA, her life long best friend Sandra Ayers of Alex City and numerous cousins.To honor Sherry, a celebration of life will be held at Wind Creek State Park on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at 2 PM.
