In a poignant moment surrounded by loved ones, Sherry L Smothers, daughter of Major Thomas B Smothers Jr and Ruth Remick Smothers, peacefully passed away on April 28th. Sherry’s life, characterized by simple pleasures and profound connections, leaves behind a legacy of warmth, laughter, and an unwavering ability to touch the hearts of those she encountered.

Sherry’s journey was marked by the joy found in life’s uncomplicated treasures. A lover of literature, she found solace and delight in the pages of books, and her zest for reading became a reflection of her vibrant spirit. Family and friends were at the core of her existence, and Sherry’s ability to forge deep and positive connections with people became a defining trait that endeared her to many.

Her career, diverse and fulfilling, was eclipsed by her most cherished role: being the devoted number one fan and critic of her brothers, Tom and Dick of the Smothers Brothers. Sherry’s unwavering support and discerning critique were a testament to the close-knit bond that defined the Smothers family.

Sherry is survived by her brothers, Tom Smothers and Dick (Marie) Smothers, several nieces and nephews, and her close friend Stephen (Smithers) Smith. The family expresses deep gratitude to Dr. Jeffrey Lyons and the compassionate staff of ProMedica Skilled Nursing Home, as well as the caring nurses and volunteers of Continuum Hospice, for their unwavering support and care during Sherry’s final days.

Remembered for her quick wit, generous spirit, and the ability to infuse joy into the lives of those around her, Sherry’s impact on the world is a testament to a life well-lived. As her family bids farewell in a private ceremony held in her honor, the memory of Sherry L Smothers will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know and love her. Rest in peace, Sweet Sherry, and may your legacy continue to inspire joy and connection in the lives of others.
