SHERRYL L. WILLIAMS
Sherryl L. Williams died peacefully at the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames on March 7, 2006. There will be no funeral service. Memorials will be used to establish a scholarship in Sherryl's name at Villisca High School for students entering those professions dedicated to the care of others.
Sherryl was born on November 9, 1939, to Clifford and Della Stevenson of Humboldt, Iowa. She graduated from Iowa State University where she met Don Williams. They were married on December 17, 1960, and then went to farm in Villisca where they resided for many years. More recently, Sherryl and Don divided their time between homes in Villisca and Ames to enjoy their grandchildren and their many activities.
Sherryl is survived by husband Don; son Tom and family of Villisca (wife Cindy, daughters Michelle and Renee); daughter Cynthia Feller and family of Ames (husband John, children Andrew, Ben and Jessica); son Rod Getting and family of Lincoln, NE (wife Mary, sons Travis and Braden); sister Pam Evans and husband Paul (Lexington, KY); and brother Braden Stevenson and wife Nancy (Des Moines). She is also survived by 18 nieces and nephews stretching from Florida to California and numerous great- nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by infant grandson Kyle (Tom and Cindy) and both her parents.
Early in their marriage, Sherryl and Don were a shelter for many troubled foster children. She was good at welcoming them, making them feel safe and sending them on their way stronger than when they arrived. Sherryl was also a talented person as demonstrated by her hobbies of weaving and basket making, just to name a few. She leaves behind a group of fellow weavers known as the Wildwood Weavers who are very special and gave her many fond memories. Another important group in her life was her Pi Beta Phi sorority sisters. They have kept in touch for over 40 years, laughing and crying together.
Sherryl will be remembered for her willingness to help others, her great love of family and friends, and her strong determination. She was a treasured wife, mother, grandmother and friend and will be deeply missed by many.
Sherryl's family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Michael Guffy and his entire staff (McFarland Clinic in Ames) for their care and dedication.
