In Loving Memory
Cathryn Elizabeth Sherman
Born September 6, 1930 in Houston, Texas
Passed away May 29, 2020 in Montgomery, Texas
Age 89 Years 9 Months and 29 Days
Cathryn Elizabeth Sherman was born in Houston, Texas to parents Ralph Emerson and Lavada Lewis. She was the loving sister of Loretta, Emerson (Jr), and Royce. She graduated from Aldine High School in 1947. She was quiet and bashful back then, but boy could she ride horses…Anyone's!
Soon after she graduated, she married Jeffie Francis Fry and had five children: Jeffery Wayne, Debby, Stanley, Donna and Kelly. In her later years she remarried to Roy Louis Sherman until his death on July 8th, 2003.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother and friend. She was fun loving and never met a stranger. Her family was the joy and love of her life, especially in her later years, spending time with her grandchildren. She loved family gatherings with the family together enjoying fishing on the pond or just visiting. She had a strong faith and work ethic, loved flowers and always insisted on a huge garden to share with her children. She loved animals, especially her horse "Paint" and her beloved Weiner dog "Baby". All animals loved her because they could sense her kind nature.
She will be greatly missed and affectionately remembered for her fun-loving personality, kindness and generosity to others!
