Cordry

Sharon (Sherri) Kay Cordry, 83, passed away peacefully at home on November 3, 2026. On her final morning, friends came to be with her and prayed with her. That evening, surrounded by the love of her family, they sang to her.

Sherri was born on October 21, 1943, and grew up on a farm in Thomas, Oklahoma. Her childhood was filled with the simple joys of farm life, visits from cousins, and horseback riding. She had a playful imagination even as a little girl, enjoying dressing up cats and pushing them around in a baby buggy.

Sherri met her husband and love of her life, Art Cordry, at Southwestern Oklahoma University. They married on 6/4/65 at the Federated Church of Weatherford, Oklahoma.

Throughout her life, Sherri dedicated herself to helping and encouraging others through teaching and counseling. She especially enjoyed working with young people, leading teen leadership activities and teaching the Character Counts program at Belt Line Elementary.

Sherri was fun-loving, enthusiastic, and vibrant. She laughed easily and brought energy and personality wherever she went. She had a distinctive fashion sense and loved shopping, arts and crafts, painting, and coloring. She enjoyed being with family, going out to eat, and getting dressed up. She also was a believer in Jesus and prayed often. She appreciated the opportunity to make an ordinary day feel a little more special.

Above all, Sherri loved spending time with people. She gave her time and attention to those around her, and the memories made in those moments are part of the legacy she leaves behind.

Sherri is survived by her husband, Arthur Loring Cordry; her daughter, April Cordry Moore, her son-in-law, Eric Moore; and her granddaughters, Addiejane and Corrina Moore and foster daughter Angel Yvonee Jessee (née Back).

She was preceded in death by her parents, Hazel and Ivan Frymire.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on November 14, 2026, at Waxahachie Funeral Home. Sherri will be cremated. In her memory, donations may be made to the Humane Society in honor of her love of animals.
