Sherry Ileen Clift, of San Angelo, passed away on April 6, 2024. She was born on October 19, 1946, in San Angelo, TX, to Cecil and Leta “Jean” Turner.
Sherry attended and graduated from Lake View High School. She married James Donald “Don” Clift on August 15, 1968, and had one child, Sherry Sue Clift Hall.
Throughout the years, Sherry worked for General Telephone, managed a franchise restaurant with Don, and finally settled into her final career for News Photo as a layout editor, where she received Employee of the Year in 1998. After years of a job she truly enjoyed, she retired in 2008.
Once a member of San Angelo Bass Club, Sherry was an avid fisherman in her younger years and could be found most weekends in her kayak on the lake with her fishing pole. She was also well known for her green thumb and her beautiful crochet. Her home was the place where sick plants came to life when everyone else had given up hope!
She had a passion for words and loved a great crossword puzzle. Dictionaries and thesauruses were constant companions, along with many, many skeins of yarn and her crochet needles. She touched so many lives with her beautiful, crocheted afghans and had been working on them and sharing them until her passing.
A memorial service will be held on April 20, 2024, at 11:00 am at San Angelo Cowboy Church.
Sherry is preceded in death by her father Cecil Turner, her mother Jean Turner, her husband Don Clift, and her nephew Christopher Tiftickjian.
