her side. Instead, her husband, children, grandchildren, and sister lived on
FaceTime as though they were in the hospital room with her day after day.

August 5, 2021 at 99 Bottles Winery & Vineyard, 2695 Quail Avenue in Garner,

Britt

distancing.
Sherry was born on August 4, 1955, in Minneapolis, MN, to Edward and Mary
Roitenberg. She resided in Minneapolis until she met her husband, Skip from
Britt, in 1977 during a rafting trip in Mankato, MN. The rest is history. They
married in Lake Tahoe on July 5, 1980. Sherry and Skip were fortunate to spend
40 loving years together. During most of their time together, they have been
inseparable and worked side by side at Miller & Sons Golf Cars. They were
blessed with three girls, one step-son, and a marvelous amount of grandchildren.
Sherry was the nucleus of the family, and her family was the center of hers. The
family was the most important thing to Sherry, and she had special relationships
with each of her children and grandchildren. Sherry was the most loving wife,
mother, and grandmother imaginable. She had grace, class and was a significant
role model that impacted her family and friends.
