Sheryl, a native of Lafayette and longtime resident of Pecan Island, LA, was a devoted educator, faithful Catholic, and beloved member of her community. A graduate of Northside High School, she went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in education from USL. Sheryl spent her career teaching high school history at Pecan Island High School and proudly retired from the Vermilion Parish School System after more than 30 years of dedicated service.
She found joy in life’s simple pleasures-reading, watching murder mysteries and game shows, working on puzzles, and playing gin rummy. A lifelong Elvis fan, she also enjoyed hobbies that reflected her warm and spirited personality. Her Catholic faith was a cornerstone of her life. She served as a catechism teacher, volunteer, and sacristan at Sacred Heart Mission Chapel in Pecan Island, giving generously of her time and heart.
Sheryl will be remembered for her commitment to education, her love for her community and faith, and the kindness she shared with all who knew her.
Pallbearers will be Jared Veazey, Josh Veazey, Nick Veazey, Mike Trimble, Aiden Trimble, and Christopher Veazey.
Honorary Pallbearers will be Buddy Marsiglia and T-Bud Marsiglia.
