Sherry Acord Renfroe, of Edmond, wife of Dr. Jerry D. Renfroe, M.D., passed away on Saturday, 29 March 2008 in Durango, Colorado of natural causes at the age of 69. Sherry had been battling several conditions, including leukemia and congestive heart failure. She was visiting their Colorado vacation home, her favorite place to be, when she became irreversibly ill. All of her children flew there to be with her during her final week in the hospital, as she gave a good fight to survive. Now she is with the Lord, along with many of her family who have gone before her, including her twin sister, her mother, and her father, who died exactly twenty years prior, to the exact day. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend, Sherry was loved by many. A devout Christian and lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she was always active in the Church and could be found there leading choirs, singing with her beautiful voice, and teaching. She was always involved in the Deer Creek community as her children grew up active in various school activities. A lover of beautiful things, Sherry enjoyed decorating and remodeling their home, hosting parties and gatherings, including her famous “Christmas Breakfast,” planning all of her children’s weddings, and simply any other task people would ask her help on. She loved spending time at Lake Eufaula at the Family cabin, where she’d swim, boat and ride the wave-runner with her kids and later, grandkids. She dearly loved her circle of lifelong friends, who had a tradition of going out to lunch together often. Her greatest legacy, however, will be her grandchildren, ranging in ages of eighteen down to age two, including twins and triplets, of which all twenty-one grandkids worshiped her as she was the perfect, most loving grandma in the world. Sherry is survived by her husband of nearly 48 years, Dr. Jerry D. Renfroe, her five children, Jerry P. Renfroe (and wife Melissa) of California; Kathleen Soukup (and husband Eric) of Edmond; Jennifer L. Kennedy (and husband Levi) of North Carolina; Deborah K. Renfroe (and husband Graham Fishburn) of Blanchard; and Robyn R. Cowan (and husband Carter) of Broken Arrow. She is also survived by her siblings, Connie Bergstedt, Susan Barlocker, Vickie Bybee, Donald Acord, and Tammy Ririe, as well as by her twenty-one grandchildren and various aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. There will a viewing for her on Wednesday evening, 2 April from 6-8 p.m. at Baggerley Funeral Home , 930 S. Broadway in Edmond. Her funeral is Thursday, 3 April at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (North Stake Center), 5020 N.W. 63rd Street in Oklahoma City. | |||
