On Friday, January 30 our long-time member and friend, Sherri Skaff, peacefully passed away. Her sister Jenipher Bach said she went to sleep and just didn’t wake up.

Sherri joined our Club in 2000, was Secretary from 2002 to 2018 and was our backbone. During her time as an active member, she was always there to be a big part of whatever was going on. When we had a firework stand, she’d be there about every day managing the stand, selling pyrotechnics and taking care of business. During our carnival years, she would put in many hours in the ticket booth and slug it out about every night. Wherever help was needed you’d see Sherri quietly stepping in to take care of it. Over Labor Day weekend in 2018 she was in a horrific car accident on the freeway that nearly took her life but caused her to spend many months in the ICU and numerous recovery facilities. Jenipher, brother-in-law Steve, her niece Stephanie and other family members and friends have been caring for her ever since.

For eighteen years Sherri was a huge part of our Club and we all loved her. But for the past seven and a half years missed seeing her at our gatherings. Her absence leaves a hole in the family and we ask you to pray that her family will be comforted. One thing though, we believe where Sherri is now, she’s not complaining.
