Sharon “Sherri” Lee Holden, 81, passed away at her home on Tuesday, February 20, 2024.
Sherri was born on December 6, 1942 in Mansfield, Ohio. She was the daughter of Herb and Bernice (Flickinger) Zehner. Sassy, hardworking, and independent, Sherri had a strong personality. She worked many manufacturing jobs, and retired from TE Connectivity. She lived life to the fullest and certainly embraced retirement with excitement and zeal. A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, family was very important to Sherri. Sparkle could always be found on Sherri, she loved bling and never came across a piece she didn’t love. She loved birds, especially hummingbirds, sports, the food network and a good cold diet pepsi.
