Life story

Sherry Ann Zissos, 67, of Ridgecrest CA, went to be with the Lord peacefully in Ontario, CA on December 5th, 2018. She was born to Marilyn Ruth Pearman and William Price, on June 15th, 1951, in Cairo, Illinois. She moved to Ridgecrest, California in 1960. She attended James Monroe Middle School and Sherman E. Burroughs High School, where she graduated in 1969.

Sherry is survived by her husband, Theodore Zissos, son Chad Zissos, daughter Nicole Baird, brother William Glover, sister Teri Evans, her 2 nephews Michael Glover, and Jason Evans, her niece Christina Evans, and 3 granddaughters Kyla & MckayLynn Baird and Praise Zissos.

Sherry was a hairdresser for over thirty years. She also devoted twenty years of her life to Aglow International, a non-profit Christian women’s Organization, where she had been the local area president. During her time serving as president, she was able to breathe new life into the local area ministry. She undoubtedly committed her life to her faith and raising her children.

Over 8 years ago, Sherry was diagnosed with cancer. Despite the horrible news, she always remained brave and strong in her faith. She fought a good battle. You would have never known that Sherry was struggling or fighting this battle; as even on her worst days, she would never show it. Each and every day she got up, looked her best, and put others first.

Sherry was a beautiful, strong woman with a true giving spirit. She was a woman of faith, strength, and dignity. She had the biggest heart and the sweetest demeanor. She was kind to everyone she met and had a gentle soul. She was committed to the Lord and strong in her faith. She was a devoted wife, wonderful mother, and grandmother. During her time here on Earth, Sherry has tremendously touched many lives, she was truly an inspiration and was loved by so many. Our beloved Sherry will be greatly missed.
