SHERRY DIANE PLETT (EPP) Sherry Plett died very suddenly on January 26. She was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan to Jack and Laura Epp on September 18, 1959. Sherry was raised on a farm just east of Swift Current and developed a love for music, becoming active in church music at the Bridgeway Community Church in Swift Current. Church music was always a big part of Sherry's life and she loved accompanying soloists, choirs or the congregation. She was baptized on October 7, 1973. After finishing high school, Sherry left for Winnipeg where she completed her BA in Music in 1980. That same year she married Brian Plett and they made Winnipeg their home. Sherry spent seven years as a secretary at the Mennonite Brethren Bible College. While Sherry was active in church music as an organist and accompanist, Brian was involved in Christian education. In 1987, Sherry and Brian started their family and Shanti Michelle, a wonderful bundle of joy was added. In 1992, a spunky Devyn Michael came along and the family was complete. Sherry is remembered as a mom who would do absolutely anything for her children. Once Shanti and Devyn were a bit older, Sherry moved outside the home and enjoyed working at Sobeys. Three years ago, Sherry was thrilled to join the Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute staff full-time as an assistant to the Business Manager. She took great pride in her work and loved it immensely. Sherry never complained about the workload and prided herself in responding to the challenges of deadlines, accuracy and month-end balancing. Sherry is mourned by her husband Brian; their daughter Shanti; and their son Devyn; her brother Kevin and his wife Brenda; and their two sons, Michael and Matthew; her brother Darwin and his wife Angela; and their two sons Aidan and Addison; her brother Dean and his fiancé Kristin Ziegler; her mom and dad, Laura and Jack Epp and her grandmother Mary Epp; her mother and father-in-law Gladwin and Jean Plett. The memorial service will be held at the North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, 1315 Gateway Road, on Wednesday, January 31 at 11:00 a.m. with viewing prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully received to establish an academic scholarship at MBCI in Sherry Plett's memory. FRIENDS FUNERAL SERVICE 2146 Main Street 339-5555
