Sherry Wagester 74, passed away from Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Embolism on October 26, 2021, peacefully at home surrounded by friends and family. Born in Milwaukee, long time resident of Waukesha. She is preceded in death by Charles Keating (Father) Elaine Behncke (Mother) Melody Parrilla and Corina Kim (Sisters). She will also be missed by her living brothers and sisters Patrick, Betty, Mike and Kelly and their significant others. Sherry will be lovingly missed by Leonard, Tracy, Todd and Nicole Wagester. Her grandchildren Sadie, James, Tot, Theodore, Joseph, Evelyn, Alex and McKenzie also two great- grandchildren Jasper and Kaylie, and many nieces and nephews. One special godson Stanley III. Sherry had been employed in the food service industry, Fordems (Labor Temple), George Webb’s, VA Hospital dietary, and Pick and Save Deli. She was also employed as a bartender at Hammers Landing, Blue Lantern, and TCB’s. Sherry will be remembered as a loving and dedicated person to all she knew and worked with. Sherry made sure her family was taken care. She lived by the words (That you should treat others as you would like to be treated.) Her interests were shooting pool and cooking. Sherry also favored country music and Michael Jackson. Many days her family would hear her singing with the music of Connie Frances, and we could never tell one from the other. What a beautiful voice she had. Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday November 21, 2021, at Sunset Bowl from 3PM -??

A THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR SHERRY

The thought of being thankful fills my heart with dread. They’ll all be feigning gladness, not a word about her said. These heavy shrouds of blackness enveloping my soul, pervasive, throat-catching, writhe in me, and coil. I must, I must acknowledge, just express her name, so all sitting at the table, know I’m thankful that she came. Though she’s gone from us forever and we mourn to see her face, not one minute of her living, would her death ever replace. So, I stop the cheerful gathering, though my voice quivers, quakes, make a toast to all her living. That small tribute’s all it takes.
