Sherry Dale (Harris) Edwards

Born in Dayton to Henry and Alvedia Huskins Harris, Sherry was a lifelong resident of the area. She retired from La-Z-Boy Chair Company in Dayton, where she worked for many years.

Sherry was a devoted and loving wife of 54 years. Known for her incredible work ethic and adventurous spirit, she could do just about anything—and wasn’t afraid to try something new.
