On May 27, our beloved 82 year old mother & grandmother Sherry Stalcup Redd was finally reunited with the love of her life; her Buddy boy after enduring many years of suffering with dementia.
Sherry was born on March 23,1943 to Helen and Barney Stalcup in Colorado Springs, CO. She primarily grew up in Moab, UT. She was a good student and enjoyed being a member of the Riding Club. She was Ms. Grand County; her outer beauty matched her inner beauty.
During her senior year of high school, she met and was immediately smitten with Buddy Redd, a dashing young man from Monticello. They were married on June 13, 1964 at the home of her in-laws, Keith & Donna Redd.
Sherry joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Buddy and Sherry were sealed in the Manti Temple in 1980. They raised their family in Monticello, UT.
Sherry received her bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Utah and spent most of her professional career as an elementary school teacher at Monticello Elementary and various schools in San Juan County.
Sherry was happiest spending quality time with her family and was always planning the next family reunion. She had a great love for the outdoors.
Together with Buddy, they explored the mountains and deserts of southern Utah. The nickname we had for them was the “wanderers.” Sherry loved searching for heart shaped rocks, being creative and tending to her yard.
Mom lived an exemplary life in the service of others. She was generous with her time and effort to help those in need and served in many capacities within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a dedicated and loving wife, mother and grandmother.
She is survived by sons Matthew (Julie), Paul (Tony), Ryan (Jen) and daughter Jamie, her 11 grandkids and two great grandkids.
She is preceded in death by her Buddy and her parents.
Graveside services will be held on Friday, June 6 at noon at the Smithfield Utah Cemetery, 300 E Center Street.
