BURNFIELD, SHARON “SHERRY” (NEE RICHER)

March 26, 1956 -
November 2, 2022

Sherry passed away peacefully at home. She was predeceased by her parents, Winnie and Leo. She is survived by her best friend, husband David and best friend, daughter Tess, step children Jason and Lisa (Brian) and her brother Roger (Norine) and many friends and relatives.

Sherry spent most of her childhood in Windermere B.C. where her parents owned the General Store. She often said it was the best place and best of times to have grown up in. Sherry and David had wonderful adventures and made many friends during the years spent on their farm in Huron county. Tess says “she was the coolest person I’ve ever known, she spent a winter on her own in an off grid cabin in the mountains and always had many stories about interactions with the natural world, coming face to face with bears, diving with sharks and many more”. In 2016 they moved to Brantford where they were welcomed by great neighbours and Sherry made close friends. She studied stained glass and became an accomplished artist. She embraced Tai Chi, became an instructor and loved teaching it.

Cremation has taken place. A private interment will take place at Farringdon Burial Ground, with a celebration of Sherry’s life to take place at a future date.

“If I begin my journey into the next world without a chance for you to say goodbye, you can always send me your prayers and thoughts, I will hear”.

Friends and family wishing to leave condolences may do so through Toll Funeral Home. In memory of Sherry, donations
to Stedman Community Hospice would be appreciated.

“There is a town in …{Southeast BC}
with dream comfort memory to spare,
In my mind, I still need a place to go
All my changes were there

Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless…………”

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young 1970
