SHERRY M BLAKE
January 14, 1961 ~ June 14, 2023
Sherry Blake of Schertz, TX was granted her Angel wings on June 14, 2023. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Sherry had touched in some way throughout her full and memorable life.
Sherry was born on January 14,1961, in Rock Hill, S.C. Where she graduated from Northwestern High School. She married her high school sweetheart Jasper Blake and from their union came three beautiful children.

My heart is so heavy Sherry had a heart of Gold loved by all will be missed so much. Family praying strength to you all. Janice M Douglas-Harrison Rock Hill/Greenville SC. Sunset Park for life
Still can’t believe I’m typing on Sherry’s obituary page…Sherry was a good friend to Lori and I since 1986 when we were stationed in Germany. When I began going bald, she lovingly called me, “Brute Bernard”, a bald professional wrestler from the 1960s/’70s. “Oh, shut up, Brute!” was her go-to phrase for me! As we age, not all who cross your mind can put a smile on your face, but Sherry did for me. Prayers for Mookie, T’Wanna, Tiffany, Buddha and the extended family. God bless you Sherry and I’m glad to have known you. Spread Joy up there because you sure did that down here!
Mookie, Words cannot express how sorry I was to hear about Sherry. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
Thank you so much Sherry for being there for me when I was at my lowest point in life. I have no doubt you are looking down on all of us, especially your family. Take your rest now queen.
Blessings, strength, peace, loving memories and prayers to the family. Always sharing an encouraging word, smile and just there if you needed a friend. Truly lived life to the fullest. She now has her Angel wings and resting in our saviors mansion. Truly will be missed but God needed her more. Amen and Amen.

Sherry Blake was a ray of hope in the lives that she touched. She was always willing to listen, provide guidance, a shoulder to cry on, and pray for and with you. We will miss her but know God has another beautiful angel in his court.
Our deepest condolences, prayers and sympathy are with the entire Blake family! It was a true blessing to meet Sherry when I did as a greeter. Our friendship evolved from there and I am very grateful to have met a wonderful, kind, and generous person who made me feel like we’ve been knowing each other forever! Sherry you are missed! I am grateful for the times you have allowed me and my husband to meet your family, friends and introducing me to Blacks in Government! You have wings and God is holding you so dearly! Well done thy good and faithful servant!

Our deepest condolences to the Blake family on the loss of their Angel. Mrs. Sherry was a Godsend Angel for many whose paths she crossed, including ours. We pray God provide you all with strength as you go through this difficult time.
God Bless Danita & Ivory
Sherry’s selfless spirit, creativity in finding solutions, and faith-filled outlook on life were an inspirational beacon of service within our Blacks In Government community. Her passion infused us with a perseverance to carry forth the mission even in challenging times. She embodied the essence of thinking BIG and her memory will be etched indelibly in our hearts. Sherry’s legacy is one that furthers the chapters she so lovingly served, stirring within us a continued dedication to serve always and wholly.
My condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Sherry. Sherry is a beautiful Angel, Servant, and Great Sister-Friend-Mentor-Inspiration. Her spirit was filled with light, and the love and the Glory of God rested within her as she spread love, kindness, and her angelic wings to give hope, encouragement, and healing to all she met and served. Words cannot express my sorrow and how much she will be missed. I spoke to Sherry often over the past 14 years. As I think about our last conversation a few days before the Memorial Day weekend, I visualize her smile, laughter, and I hear her saying “Sis, God is Good, Praise Him, Love You, and Talk to You Next Week, Be Safe and Enjoy the Holiday Weekend!†I did not hear from her after the holiday and I became concerned something was wrong. When I received the shocking news, I was speechless. God removed His Angel from this life, her work is done, and her impact lives on. Until we meet again, rest well my friend. Thank you for your positive impact in my life. You will always be my Angel. Love Always, Sharon.
I am wishing you ALL, love, prayers, and God’s light during this time. Praying that you will find comfort in your memories of her and in knowledge that others are missing her too. Her memory will be eternally etched in our hearts.
My deepest condolences and sympathy for the Blake family. Sherry was a special person she was always there when I needed an ear or shoulder to lean on while we worked for DeCA. She was certainly a shining light. Blessings
SB!!!! I will love you forever!!!! It is so awesome how the Lord places people in our lives the exact moment they are needed. As a young 16/17yr old girl, green to the world, whose biological mother worked a lot just to provide for my sister and I, the Father placed you in our life to keep watch and help steward us in the way we should go(even unbeknownst to you). Thank you for opening your doors, your fridge and your heart to us without complaint. Thank you for letting Twanna drive the mega van so we can go hang out at the youth/teen center. Thank you for NOT letting Twanna take the van because only the Lord knew sometimes we was up to no good(Lol). Thank you for being a wonderful example of a virtuous woman and running your household well, you did that!!!! Rest well ladyâ¤ï¸
Family you all will be in my prayers 😘😘
My SC sister Sherry was a great ray of sunshine everyday I saw her. She was the shoulder I could cry on and make me laugh when I was feeling down. I love you dearly and miss you terribly. My heart has an empty space because you are no longer with us. I know the angels are happy such a beautiful soul is joining them. My sincere condolences to Mr. Blake and family. God Bless you all.
Sherry was a wonderful spirit whose light shined bright. She always greeted me with a warm smile and was someone I held in the highest of regards. My condolences to her entire family during this time of bereavement. May she rest in everlasting peace.

Sherry was the most vibrant & beautiful person I met during our careers in the federal government. I am so shocked to hear of her death for I watched her Cowboys & prayed she wasn’t watching them tonight in Buffalo. I know she is with her Father & she is looking down on her beautiful family loving them & cheering them along. You will be in my prayers until we meet again, God bless you..Peg
I’m so sorry for my late condolences, but I had no way of knowing, I had a massive stroke and I been going through but Sherry and I met through the Federal government on a TDY trip to a trading at DEOMI. But I will say the news of her passing has truly touched my heart with sadness but I know she gained her angel wings rightfully up there with our father God in heaven because she was a beautiful loving 😇 down here on earthâ¤I send my prayers and condolences to you the family I am so sorry for your loss!! May God be with you all abundantly.
