Rest in Peace Sherri-Anne. I had enjoyed working with you at FCA/Stellantis, and am saddened to hear this news. May your memory be a blessing.

I met Sherri-Anne at FCA and I appreciate her so much. She lived life to the fullest and didn't waste a single moment. She was super supportive, understanding, and inspiring. One thing I must highlight is, she loved her family. She was so proud of them. She even made me feel like family lol. I'm grateful for the beautiful memories we shared. I will never forget how excited she was for her new home and how she got exactly what she wanted (down to the one feature that she desired so much). She had a way of getting you excited and full of hope for the best yet to come. I miss you my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God bless you always.

Sherri-Anne, my dear sweet daughter.

Words doesn’t seem sufficient or adequate enough to captured how I feel, or how I think Sasha, Dominic and our family feel or will continue to feel. But what I can say is your fierce love and devotion of Sasha, Dominic, our family and your friends are so commendable and is felt deeply. I took notes and will continue to do you justice by making sure Sasha and Dominic is loved and supported as fiercely as you have and would have continued to do.

You possessed such great qualities and made us loved you so much more for them. Your legacy left for your children and your family is truly one of great love, strength, dedication, compassion, driven, purposeful and generosity. You are truly the best multifaceted human.

There is a Jamaican saying that I think describes you. Yu little but yu tallawa.

BigUp Sherri-Anne!

You have certainly, despite all the obstacles and heartbreaks, lived a life of service, fun and worship. Your capacity to do all what you have done, in such a very short time, is appreciated and even though my brain tries to rationalize your transition, I can’t help the feeling of a gapping hole in my heart. Our family trips, get togethers and when ever we gather for what ever the occasion will for ever be different. I promise, your smile, your humor, your essence of who you are to us will never be forgotten. I will surely miss our hour to two or sometimes even more of conversations. You live on in our hearts even when it hurts like hell.

I will only have memories, very good ones, to play back and tell Sasha and Dominic. Like the time when I was driving on the service drive and came to a stop light. She was probably about nine or ten. Sherri-Anne said to me, mommy why is that man walking with a white cane. I told her I believed he may be blind. She said to me how is he going to cross the street if he is blind and I said he uses the cane to feel if there are objects in his way and then he decides if he should walk or not. Then she said, can I help him cross so he can safely cross the street. I said yes, (I am still not sure that was right decision I made) but Sherri-Anne got out of the car and walked him across the one lane street and came back into the car and said he was safe now. I told her that was a brave and kind thing to do.

Sherri-Anne you can rest and be safe now. The village you create will continue your legacy and your family will take care of Sasha and Dominic in your honor.

My love and admiration for you will never fade.

You are forever in my heart,
Mom

I met Sherri-Anne when I started attending Southfield High School. She was extremely close friends with one of my cousins. I am truly saddened to hear of her passing. She was always sweet to me & I have nothing but fond memories of my occasional interactions with her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family & friends during this difficult time. She will forever be missed & never forgotten!!

May the strength of your love for each other in this remarkable family and Sherri-Ann’s beautiful memory be a blessing to you all.

Sherri-Anne, what a beautiful home going service. I am so thankful to have known you through our virtual Toastmasters interactions. I’ll never forget when I participated in my first speech contest last year and you were the tech chair. In our breakout room, you said, “I’m not supposed to tell you this, but you did a great job”. That means so much, especially now. I won’t forget it. Thank you for being dedicated to everything you were a part of. I aspire to be like you! You are an inspiration to us all.

As I told you last month, it’s my goal to become a Distinguished Toastmaster, and I promise I will become one in your honor!

Toast to you!

I first met Sherri-Anne at Southfield Highschool apart of the big sister/big brother program. She was my Big Sister. I also knew her from her sister Shar since we were classmates. Sherrie Anne was alway helping the class of 2003 with many events. She was definitely a kind, hearted beautiful soul! Last time I saw her was to grab some peaches from her that she was donating back last year! May she rest peacefully and her light continues to shine throughout others! Condolences to her family and may the Lord continue to provide strength and comfort

I've only met Sherri-Anne once. However, I could remember how sweet she was. This loss is so shocking. My thoughts and prayers goes out to her loved ones. ❤️

Sherri Anne, you were born in my hands, now you are gone from them but your memories will always be in my heart. I love you Sher Wynter! ❤️

Sherri-Anne was a bright light. I'm very sad to hear this unfortunate news. She was truly a geniune soul and she treated everyone with respect. She had such a beautiful smile. She will never be forgotten. She will be missed by many. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know her. We were in the same classes at Southfield High School. I remember when the class board passed out carnations. I believe she gave me one. God bless her family during this difficult time. I know I'm logged in under the name Noel. But my name is Khalilah. If anyone from Southfield High feels like reaching out to talk my email Lilah1182@gmail.com My heart hurts for anyone who was close to this amazing woman. REST IN PEACE

In loving memory of a remarkable woman who left us too early. Beautiful inside and out. Radiating warmth, she extended a heartfelt welcome to all, without exception, every single time.

Her smile was a beacon of pure joy, illuminating the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

As the driving force behind the West Bloomfield (Michigan) Diversity Task Force, she blazed a trail in the realms of diversity and inclusion. Her vision for community building was unmatched, shaping an example of what true sense of community should look and feel like. In her legacy, she leaves behind an enduring inspiration for us all.

She will be forever missed. 

Sherry Ann will be missed very much.
John and I send or deepest condolences to her family.

Sherri Anne was never one of my classroom students. I knew her from N.H.S., Scholars Plus and her leadership role in many of the student activities at SHS. I have enjoyed the glimpses of her adult life including her role of mother. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Ray, Shar, Sasha, Dominic and her very close “girl” friends.

My condolences to Sherri-Anne's family and her children during this very difficult time. I went to Southfield High School with Sherri-Anne. She was beautiful person inside and out. She was a phenomenal mother! I am praying nightly for her children. I was blessed to have known her. May GOD watch over her family. Gone but never forgotten.

I am so saddened by the loss of Sherri-Anne. All week I’ve tried to write a tribute but just could not find the words. After reading the tributes here and on social media, I am in awe of the impact she's had in the various “communities” in which she was placed. I say placed because I can see God’s hand over her life. However, I am not surprised because I know God and as her middle school principal I could see that she would be “special” for this world. What always stood out to me about Sherri-Anne was her kindness, loving ways, intelligence, and, of course, her leadership abilities. I would always say that she is such a “nice” child. 
I will always keep Sasha, Dominic, Mr. and Mrs. Ray, Shar, her grandmother and family in my prayers. I pray for God’s comfort, peace and strength to envelop them forevermore. 

My condolences to Sherri-Anne's family and her children during this very difficult time. I met Sherri-Anne in undergraduate school over 20 years ago. I have never met someone so dedicated, ambitious, and driven. I will always remember her positivity and her strong dedication. I always admired this about Sherri-Anne. Sherri-Anne was a beautiful person and I am lucky to have known her. Rest in Peace. - Janelle

To the Wynter family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I first had the privilege of meeting Sherri-Anne twenty years ago at Detroit Mercy, where her remarkable presence left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She was truly extraordinary, driven by an unyielding dedication to excellence and a deep sense of purpose.

Sherri-Anne's legacy will endure in the hearts of those she touched, a testament to the remarkable individual she was and the profound influence she had on many lives.

Rest in peace, Sherri-Anne.

I met Sherri-Anne in 1994, in Southfield MI, and she was always nice to me. She also helped me reconnect with loved ones. Sherri-Anne holds a special place in my heart and will be missed dearly. I pray that God shows her Children, Family and Friends guidance through this painful time in our lives

May you rest in peace my dear niece. May you continue to watch over us. From aunt Jeannette

A loving Mother of 2 great kids (Sasha & Dominic ). An authentic sweetheart with a magnetic personality, presence & a smile that lit up the room. Sherri Anne will most definitely be missed. My prayers & heartfelt condolences are with her kids/Family & loved ones. May God continue to Bless, comfort, & strengthen them all through this very difficult time. ❤️

Sending heartfelt condolences to the family and close friends of Sherri-Anne. I met Sherri-Anne 20 years ago at the University of Detroit Mercy. She will be remembered for her heart. She would always greet me with her beautiful smile. I admired her for her selfless acts of service and how she raised her children. I aspired to be like her as I followed her Toastmasters journey. People like Sherri-Anne are rare and I am grateful that I was able to encounter her presence.

This is a beautiful tribute for a beautiful person. May God protect this family and provide all their emotional and physical needs. I share many common connections to Sherri-Anne, via LinkedIn. I read of her passing and wanted to be sure the family knows that even strangers are mourning your loss. I can see her lovely spirit shining brightly through all the messages and pictures posted. May Sherri-Anne rest in peace. God Bless.

This news still has me in shock and disbelief. I haven’t been apart of Sherri-Anne’s life for many years now, but her and I spent a lot of time together during our teenage years. The Sherri-Anne that I remember had one of the most beautiful smiles that you would ever see and a one of a kind sense of humor. She was kind to people and that made everyone feel comfortable around her. I remember her having an uncanny ability to multitask and to get things done. She was a born leader. More importantly, I remember Sherri-Anne as being an all around great person. You will be missed. Rest in peace.

Although I did not know Sherri-Anne well, I know her daughter Sasha who is a beautiful soul and would like to express my sypathy and sadness on the loss of her mother. She raised a beautiful, intelligent, kind and respectful daughter...a reflection of her mother.

I did not know Sherri-Ann, but saw the note of her passing on Linked In. I am so sorry for the loss of such a vibrant and caring person. She was loved not only by her family but by friends and those she encountered who felt her care and compassion. I pray that her family and friends may find solace and may perpetual light shine upon her.

My Deepest Condolences for the entire family of Sherri. We sat on WB P& R Diversity task force. My first time meeting Sherri, she instantly was the leader and go getter of our team. Her smile always felt so warm and loving. I am so sadden for this and I pray that the family finds strength in continuing with such an amazing person's legacy and dedication to changing the world.

While we didn’t meet Sherri-Anne, we are friends of her aunt Anne Ray and family. It’s so sad to lose one so young and full of life. Please accept our condolences in this sad time. Cherish the lovely memories you have with Sherri-Anne.

Sherri-Anne Wynter impacted my life, when introducing herself to me last August. She recruited me to join Toastmasters, West Bloomfield, Mi. Her enthusiasm and professionalism grabbed my interest. As our relationship progressed, I aspired to be more like her. Her leadership and confidence were exemplary. She took me under her wing. Helped me to see how I could improve as a writer and presenter.  I discussed loosing my daughter with Sherri-Anne when I met her. She encouraged me, and guided me to write about it. I will never forget her compassion.
On the 15th of February, I received an email from her. She always showed her concern for my situation, helping me, once again. I looked forward to seeing her at our next meeting, having conversation, learning more about my role in the organization, most of all, I was excited about our continued relationship. Sherri-Anne was my only friend in the WBT group. When I didn't hear from her, I discovered she had passed away, and grieved as if I had known her for years. I am so sorry for the family's loss, and pray that God heals their hearts. Her passing is a tremendous loss for many friends, and associates. I was one of those. 
The grieving journey is a combination of restructuring your life and thinking. As time passes, you manage the sadness, and become grateful for every moment shared, remembering her, and the loving times spent together. The quality time that I spent with her, and the impression she left on my heart, will be with me forever. I continue to pray for the family. Sherri-Anne was a smart, beautiful, patient and caring person. As a leader, and professional, she will always be remembered.
God Bless and Comfort the Wynter Family ❤️‍.   With Sincerest Condolence,
      

I met Sherri-Anne very recently through our partnership with the West Bloomfield Diversity & Inclusion Task Force. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. In the short interactions I had with her, I could tell she had a very friendly and giving nature and dedicated so much of her time to bettering the community. The void she leaves in the community will be missed, and I can only imagine what that leaves for her family. Our heartfelt condolences from everyone from Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital who worked with her over the years.

Dear Family of Sherri-Anne Wynter,
I did not know her but saw this notice on Linkedin and clicked the link because I was so moved by her beautiful picture and youthfulness. Once the music of Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" and the beautiful pictures that were display that lump and funny feeling began in my throat and my eyes began to tear up looking at the series of wonderful memory pictures that displayed so much life, joy and love. I want to send my deepest condolences and prayers for a life that left too soon and the Deep Love seen in the pics for her two grandchildren and children. God Bless to your entire family with sincerity.

I met Sherri-Anne while working at Fiat Chrysler aka Stellantis when she took a position in information Technology to help further her career. This young lady was special, she was very professional, driven to learn, tenacious to complete her task with the utmost excellence. I really enjoyed her her spirit, she drove her own career, the networking Queen. What I really admire most about her was she didn't sit around, everyday was a Purpose Driven day for her, on a mission. I will miss her smile, her humor, and don't let the smooth taste fool you tenacity. I Can Only Imagine that she's in heaven meeting up with family and friends who have transitioned before her, making sure her two little blessings are watched over and protected and everything is in order. Rest in heaven Sherri-Anne..

While I'm so glad I got a chance to say thank you, I wish I could tell you some more. Sherri was such a blessing to me. So sorry to hear of her transition. Peace and strength to her family.There is absolutely no pain that God cannot heal.

Sherrianne you will be truly missed. I will never forget the first day your dad brought you and Sharolyn into my life. You will always be remembered as a beautiful person inside and out. Your brother Christoper and I will keep you in our heart. GTS...

To Sherri-Anne's family and friends - I wish to express my heartfelt condolences and just to let you know that my family and I will be praying for you. I had some interaction with Sherri-Anne as a Toastmaster and just want to say she was always a delight to talk to and just had an overall great presence about her.

This was so heartbreaking to hear. Sherri-Anne became a good acquaintance from Toastmasters. She was an inspiration. Bless you all.

Sorry to hear, we weren't close friends. But I knew of her, she seemed like a cool person to know. Yeah, this is too soon. Sorry for your loss

The Fong family sends our deepest sympathies and prayers. May you take comfort in your memories together.

Louie Fong and Family

I had the good fortune of meeting Sherri-Anne her freshman year at SHS. She was a student in a class that I was teaching as a 3 year pilot. SAW and her classmates were very special to me. Her senior year, I was pregnant with my first child and Sherri Anne was my first choice for a babysitter. After I had my second child, she continued to sit for my kids for years! Sherri Anne became family…we went to her wedding, saw her in the hospital when she delivered her daughter, shared in many celebrations, and would love to catch up over sushi! Sherri Anne grew from a wonderful student to a dear friend over the past 25 years. I loved when she felt comfortable enough to call me by my first name! She was a beautiful person who I will dearly miss. My heart goes out to her whole family and especially to her beautiful children.

I can still remember meeting you in middle school . Everything you did you went all out and did it with a smile. It was good seeing you thought years because you always had the same smile. I'm thankful to have seen you at church. RIH

Sherri Anne and I met while working on our Master's degrees at the University of Michigan. Although I have many associates, Sherri Anne is one of the few that I consider to be a true friend...but I have always loved, respected, and admired her like my Big Sister. I was excited to be present for events with her children and will never forget how she was present for mine. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Melody, Sherri Anne offered to help with all the activities for my baby shower. Everything was absolutely amazing and so very perfect. My daughter arrived a week before her baby shower and Sherri Anne went and had special Hershey Kisses created with pictures of my newborn baby on the bottom of each kiss. The love and thoughtfulness that went into adding those to the celebration amazed me. Also, I never met anyone, outside of my Mother, who knew how to bring people together the way that Sherri Anne did. I often wished I could join in on more of the fun, but with all of my children...I felt as though I could not. Getting four children out of the door is a lot, lol...But I would give anything to go and spend time with her and the family one more time.

I love and appreciate you my friend and will miss you forever. This has been extremely difficult to process, but I only envision you smiling and rejoicing in the heavens as you rest in perfect peace. You are so very loved and you always will be. You lived and walked in your purpose and were intentional in all that you did. You have inspired me in this life and I will always love, appreciate, and miss you. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends, and all who knew and love you. Your living was not in vain. You impacted lives in the best way. We love you. ️

Your beautiful smile will forever be missed

Sherri-Anne was an outstanding and amazing volunteer at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen Children's Program for about 3 years. She was full of spirit, compassion, energy and empathy. She had wisdom beyond her years and was so relational with our children and teens. She started as a volunteer and soon became a friend. We have never forgotten her and are forever grateful for her presence with us.
I extend my deepest sympathy to all of you and assure you that my thoughts and prayers will continue in the coming months. Sister Nancyann Turner,OP

Rest in peace little buddy, rest up!

I met Sherri-Anne as a member on the West Bloomfield Diversity Task Force. What an amazing woman; I am sending prayers and thoughts to all of Sherri-Anne's family members and friends. This beautiful, giving soul was taken way too soon.

Sherri Anne was a born leader, organizer, and advocate. As a teacher at the high school she attended, I was drawn to brightness in her smile and the brilliance of her intellect. As a high school student, Sherri Anne lead her class with excellence and enthusiasm. As I am learning of her adult life, I am overjoyed that she carried these attributes into her adult life. Overjoyed but not surprised. It is evident Sherri Anne strove to make a difference in her community, and because of her positive and loving energy, the seeds she planted will grow into change and growth for children of color, and enriching experiences for all of her community.
I pray God comforts her children and gives strength and peace to them, her beautiful Mom, and her amazing Sister. God Bless the Wynter and Ray families, and all of Sherri Anne’s family and friends ❤️❤️

Sherri-Anne it was a pleasure to be your friend, big sis, road dog and Toastmaster partner! I never would’ve imagined that we’d end our link so soon.

Thank you for being the wonderful go getter that you were. You will be greatly missed. I appreciate you loving my grandson like he was one of your kids.

You were the best mother a kid could ever have! You are the type of mother that should be congratulated and celebrated for always going the extra mile for your babies!

Good night my sweet friend.

I’m sure you are up there schooling all the angels with your proficient spreadsheets and dynamic PowerPoint presentations. Just because we all know, Sherri-Anne had a more efficient way to do it!

Rest in Heaven Honey!

Dear Cousin,

I write this note with a heavy heart and a soul filled with memories, as we say goodbye far sooner than any of us were prepared for. Your sudden departure has left a void that words can barely begin to fill, but I find solace in expressing how deeply you were loved and how profoundly you will be missed.

You were a beacon of light in our lives, a source of joy and strength for everyone around you. Your laughter, kindness, and love touched us all in ways that will forever be etched in our hearts. It's hard to let go, but we find comfort in knowing that you are now in a place of peace, embraced by the love of our dear grandma and grandpa as they welcome you with open arms into heaven.

Please, if you cross paths with Papa John, share with him a message from the heart. Let him know that Ryanista is your mom.

As we navigate this world without your physical presence, please know that your spirit lives on through Sasha and Dominic. Your dear children are a reflection of your love, your kindness, and your indomitable spirit. We vow to envelop them with all the love, care, and support they deserve. We will surround them with the warmth of our family and the enduring strength of your love.

You may have left this earthly realm, but you will forever remain in our hearts and memories. We will carry forward your legacy of love, compassion, and joy, ensuring that your light continues to shine brightly through each of us. Rest in peace, dear cousin, until we meet again.

Love always,
Ann Marie

Sherri Anne served her community like no one I’ve ever seen. She cared so much about diversity and showing all our black and brown children what service looks like. She has helped and guided me into service within our community and I’ll always be grateful and cherish the time we had participating in the PTO but also our many conversations that we held about stepping up and changing things for our children. She helped me and wanted nothing in return and I’ll forever remember her in that amazing way. Gone way too soon friend.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. What a shock. Please accept my condolences to all of the family.
