Interment will follow at DeSoto Memorial Gardens, Southaven. Sherry was a woman whose heart belonged to her family. Nothing brought her more joy than being surrounded by the people she loved, and she made each one of them feel special in their own way. Her love was steady, genuine, and freely given, and it created a bond that will continue to hold her family together. She had a naturally warm and easygoing spirit that drew people to her. Sherry had a gift for making others feel comfortable, welcome, and at home in her presence. Whether you were family or a friend, time spent with her was filled with laughter, lighthearted moments, and a sense of belonging. She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures, especially in time shared with loved ones. She enjoyed playing games. She played with enthusiasm and a playful competitive streak, but it was always the laughter and togetherness that mattered most. Sherry will be remembered for her kind heart, her joyful spirit, and the deep love she had for her family. The memories she created—around tables, in conversations, and through everyday moments—will be treasured forever. She is survived by her beloved daughters, Jennifer (Jonathan) Moore of Hernando, Mississippi, and Debra (Bradley) McGee of Walls, Mississippi; her cherished grandchildren, Kiersten Green and Isabella Drenzek, both of Hernando, and Brody McGee of Walls; her step-grandchildren, Kristin (Preston) Tompkins of French Camp, Mississippi, Jordan Moore, Jacy Moore, both of Hernando, and Jonathan Moore of Huntsville, Alabama; her great-granddaughter, Presley Tompkins of French Camp; her sisters, Joyce (Harold) Brown of Munford, Tennessee, Shelia (Bill) Manning of Southaven, Mississippi, Debra (Dennis) Reed of Iuka, Mississippi, and Toni Pearson of Smithville, MS; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Michael Wayne Harris; her parents, William and Elizabeth Griffin; and her siblings, Eddie Griffin, Clarence Griffin, William Griffin, Shirley Carter, Vicki Mitchell, Linda Coley, and Brenda Lewis. Her memory will live on in the love she gave, the laughter she shared, and the family she cherished so deeply. Arrangements are under the direction of Coleman Funeral Home of Southaven.
