Sherry Ray Dick's Obituary
Surrounded by her loving family, Sherry Ray Dick departed from this earth and received her heavenly reward on May 19, 2023. Sherry was born and raised in Decatur, IL, where she graduated from Eisenhower High School and married James W. Dick Jr., her loving husband of nearly 50 years. She loved her family and her neighbors, who will forever cherish her kind heart and warm smile. Sherry worked for many years as a secretary in addition to customer service. Even though she worked full-time for most of her life, her primary concern was with rearing her three daughters, investing deeply into their lives. Family was always first for Sherry.
She is survived by her husband Jim Dick; her mother June Cullins, her sister Vickie Stewart (David); her three daughters Jennifer Thomas (Jason), Julie Ridgeway (Ken), and Jaclyn McCoy; her nine grandchildren McKenna, Dustin, Marie, Clayton, Carson, Camden, Braden, Willa, and Vivian; and her one great-grandson Hudson.
