SHERRY was a true professional, dedicated to doing it right in a role that so many Police boys and girls depended upon. Her ability to know exactly what was needed for backup or support was a sixth sense even in times when info was lacking and radio communications poor or inexact. She made a true difference in the operations of the service and will be fondly remembered for her contributions and unwavering commitment to her job. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Garry LEACH (Former co-worker) on: May 22, 2016

A good woman lost! I knew Sherry throughout my career, she was a very good Comm Centre worker, committed to the well being of all officers and staff, not to mention all the citizens. A great lady and very professional. She set the example for others. God look after your soul, it is well deserved. - Posted by: Gord Barton (friend from WPS (Retired)) on: May 21, 2016
