Sherry Sandifer

      Sherry Greig Sandifer, age 73 of Lufkin, TX, passed away unexpectedly on January 24, 2023.  Sherry was born on March 14, 1949, in St. Martinville, LA.  Sherry spent her entire young adult life in Louisiana where she enjoyed hunting and fishing and participating in Mardi Gras parades and balls. 

      Sherry moved to Lufkin in 1982 and managed a local apartment complex for over 10 years and later received her certification as a Licensed Massage Therapist. 

      Sherry enjoyed membership in The Daughters of the Republic of Texas organization for over 20 years and served as the Mary Hall Mantooth Chapter President from 1995-1997. Other interests Sherry enjoyed were traveling, playing cards and 42, dancing, and watching sports; especially LSU and the New Orleans Saints.

      Sherry met her husband, Jack, in 1989 and they were married in 1994.  In 2000, they moved to Nevada to be closer to their 3 grandsons.  After Jack passed away in 2014, Sherry decided to return to Texas to be closer to extended family.  Pinnacle Assisted Living was a perfect fit for her and in 2019, she had found her new home.
