Sherrie Ewing was born on March 2, 1959, in Fort Dodge to Gerald & Virginia (Bockert) Ewing, she was raised in Fort Dodge and graduated from Fort Dodge Senior High in 1977. On July 15, 1978, she was united in marriage to Brian McLoud at The Little Brown Church in Nashua IA, the couple established their home in Fort Dodge and had just celebrated their 44th year of marriage at the time of Brian's passing in 2022.

Sherrie loved nothing more than having a house full of family & friends, she loved cooking for a crowd and making sure everyone was taken care of. Sherrie also loved watching her great nephews play ball; Saturday mornings Sherrie could be found out at the soccer fields and Friday nights when she was able, she could be found at the stadium watching FDSH football under the lights. She also loved taking her dog Panzer out to Kennedy for walks followed by a stop at Mc Donald's on the way home for his cheeseburger.

Sherrie will be missed greatly by all those that love her; may we all strive to be as selfless and kind as Sherrie.

Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.
