Sherrie Zandstra, 49, passed away surrounded by her loving family, December 6th, 2023. She was born January 1st,1974 to Jerry Gwinn and Hazel Irene (Berkley) Lehman.
Sherrie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She had a sense of humor and loved to talk, she never met a stranger. She was loved by many and touched many lives. She had such beautiful blue eyes and smile but her heart was the most beautiful thing about her. She always tried to take care of everyone around her and worried about everyone. She loved to laugh and tried to make everyone else too. She prayed every night before bed and mentioned everyone she knew by name and it was a long list.
She always knew she wanted to be a mother and it was the greatest joy of her life. She loved Arial more than anything. When she met Brian she couldn’t have been more in love and happy to find such a great husband and father to Arial. He has been there and supported them both in every way for over 24 years. She loved Brian and married him even though he was a Chicago bears fan and a Sunday morning pregame argument over whose team was going to be the victor was a Sunday ritual.
She never thought she could feel more love and joy than she did until almost a year ago when her daughter had a baby boy. She told everyone she knew and met of Baby Arlo that changed her life again. She was so happy that her and Brian were grandparents and excited to spend time with him and watch him grow.
She was the best sister and will be missed more than she could even have imaged. She was an amazing loving daughter and helped to take care of her mom and dad for years. She was always special to all of us. There is nothing that will ever feel the same without her here. To never hear her talk, laugh, or give you her opinion whether you wanted it or not seems unthinkable.
Sherrie was survived by husband, Brian, daughter and son in law Arial and Max James, grandson, Arlo, and pups Remy and Bernie. Siblings, Candy Lehman of Terre Haute, Lisa Lehman & Lonnie Banks of Indianapolis, Jerry & Joanie Lehman of Terre Haute. Mother in law Barbara Zandstra, brother in law Craig Zandstra, sister in law Beth Zandstra.
