She was born June 23, 1962 in Meriden, the treasured daughter of Timothy and Marilyn (Eukers) Johnston. Sherry inspired all who knew her with the courage and perseverance she displayed during her four and a half year battle with ovarian cancer. Her final victory was her graduation from Tunxis Community College on June 2, of this year, with family and friends cheering her on. The outpouring of love and support for Sherry from the Southington community has been so comforting to her and to her loved ones, especially the many donations made by the employees of the former "Lori Lock." Her beloved brother, Mark Johnston organized a huge fundraiser two years ago to send her to Mexico for alternative treatment. This treatment was instrumental in prolonging her life. Mark has been a constant support during her illness.
In addition to her husband and parents, Sherry is survived by four children that she loved with all her heart and in turn adored her. Her two sons, "T.J." and Jonathan and two daughters, Molly and Jessy, are all at home; she is also survived by two brothers, Mark and Bruce Johnston, both of Southington; her mother and father-in-law, Rodney and Robertine Carmichael of New Hampshire; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Stacey Nerenstone and staff of Avon (especially to Sherry's nurse Helen) for their loving care. A very special thanks to Homecare nurse and friend, Jan Conforte.
A graveside celebration of her life will be held Wednesday, July 3, at 10 a.m. at South End Cemetery
in Southington. Donations in Sherry's memory may be made to Carmichael Children Education Fund, Valley Bank, c/o Bonnie Crane, 4 Riverside Ave., Bristol, CT 06111. There are no calling hours. Plantsville Memorial Funeral Home, 975 South Main St., Plantsville is entrusted with funeral arrangements.
