Condolences to the family of Sherrill Benns

SherrillBenns

In loving memory of

Sherrill Benns

Caley, AB
Born on June 28, 1948

Sherrill was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Benns. She is survived by her daughter, Nevada Benns, and son, Tanner Benns, along with her mother, Mary Clark, and brother, Neil Clark.
Sherrill’s love for life was beautifully reflected in her passion for gardening, tending to her Rose Garden and her big yard of flowers and vegetable gardens, caring for dogs and stray cats, and, above all, her cherished horses. She will be remembered for her warm hospitality, always opening her home and sharing her culinary talents for family gatherings.
Sherrill’s life was tragically cut short by a stroke sustained while doing what she loved most—riding. Though she may no longer be with us, her spirit and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
