Sherry was born in Grand Saline, Texas, on September 5, 1946, to Leo Garland Smith and Argere Pauline Ringener.

She graduated from Van High School, worked building electronics for a number of years, and then concentrated on her calling, working with developmentally disabled children at Abilene ISD, and Lewisville ISD, before retiring to Lake Leon. Sherry was a devoted and loving wife and mother, and to know her was to love her. She was preceded in death by her mother, Argere.
She leaves to mourn, her loving husband of 50 years, Don R. (Butch) McMurray; sons, Scott Lee and Shelley McMurray, of Corinth, TX and Darren Todd McMurray and Christina Bynum, of Lewisville, TX; her dad, Leo & step-mother, Viola Smith of Lindale, TX; sister, Linda G.
