Sherry Louise Carter Trammell was born September 24, 1957 in Malakoff, Texas the daughter of Eugene Carter and Louise Hope Carter. She was an active member of the Living for the Brand Cowboy Church who was strong in her faith. She was known to always have a positive attitude and a smile on her face, even on the bad days. Sherry’s loved being involved with her family, going to grandkids ballgames, practices and awards ceremonies. Life involved fellowshipping, BBQ’s, four wheeling and friends. She enjoyed riding and training horses on her ranch in Cross Roads. She worked at Oakwood Place as a caregiver and touched hearts and lives everywhere she went.
