Sheryl (Sherri) Durst, a lifelong resident of Colorado Springs, died at the age of 66 after a long illness.
She was born January 27, 1954 in Colorado Springs to Charles R. and Juanita M. Durst.
She attended Roy J. Wasson High School and graduated in 1972. Following graduation she went to work at Hewlett Packard for many years where she became a technical writer. She has since worked for a number of technical companies in Colorado Springs.
Sherri enjoyed spending time with both family and friends. Being a big sports fan she watched tennis, the Broncos, Rockies and Nuggets. She was also a talented artist working in paint, pottery and wrought iron. She had a special place in her heart for animals, especially dogs.
She leaves behind her sister Terry and brother-in-law Thomas Menard, two nephews, and great nephews and nieces. She was preceded in passing by her parents Charles and Juanita Durst.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 10:00 AM, Saturday February 29 2020 at the Olympian Plaza Reception and Event Center, 975 S. Union Blvd.

24 Feb 2020We’re missing you, Sherri! May you be blessed by the Lord.
For many years, I and so many others depended on Sherri to make something beautiful or at least acceptable out of the documents we passed her way. In spite of tight schedules, she was accommodating and generous with her time and guidance. Since I was an editor in “a past life,” we could commiserate about the craft and laugh together about that sometimes crazy work world. I never imagined we wouldn’t see her again. I offer my condolences to all her family and friends; may you find peace after the sadness.
