12/31/1956 – 2/5/2011
Sherri Ann Angie passed away February 5, 2011 at home from complications of diabetes and heart disease. She was born in Bellevue, WA on December 31, 1956. She has lived in Bellingham for 24 years. Sherri worked for the Lexington, KY, school district as well as the Bellingham School District for several years as a special education teacher, until health problems prevented her from continuing.
Sherri’s warm heart has been a guiding light for friends and family. Since being disabled, she has spent her time expressing her beautiful soul in graphic arts. It was her wish and gift to share her talent with all. Her openness in art created a wonderful family of people interested in artistic expression. Sherri opened her heart and home to friends who became family; always sharing love with those she met. With the help of friends and the guiding spirit of her deceased husband Richard, Sherri and partners opened The Sparrow’s Nest Art Studio.
In death, Sherri joins her love and soul mate, Richard Estes. She leaves behind her loving son Alex and step children Emily and Dana; mother Jackie; sisters Jodee and Barbara; brothers-in-law Richard and Don; nephews Anthony and Christopher; niece Kamee; and her adopted family Joe, Karen, and their daughter Sidney.
Memorials may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or the Whatcom Humane Society. Visitation will be held at Westford Funeral Home on Friday, February 11th from 3 to 5 PM. A Celebration of Sherri’s Life will be held at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal on Sunday, February 27th at 2 PM.
