Sheri was born on May 22, 1959, in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and grew up on her family’s farm, where she developed her positive, friendly personality and strong work ethic. She also loved the outdoors and grew a love for raising animals and enjoying art.
Sheri graduated from Oskaloosa High School in 1977, where she played on the golf team, was a member of the first girls’ basketball team, and also the softball team where she developed life-long friends. She began her college studies at Iowa State University and later earned a Dental Hygiene Degree from Des Moines Community College-Ankeny campus.
After college, Sheri moved to Dallas, Texas, and worked as a Dental Hygienist. There she met her loving husband Philip Waterman in October 1984. Together their life was an adventure taking them to New York City, Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., Baton Rouge, Saint Paul, and Ponte Vedra Beach, creating friendships and memories wherever they went while also starting a family. Phil and Sheri have two wonderful children Cogan and Conner Ann, raising them to appreciate many different places and people. Sheri worked as a Dental Hygienist in multiple states, Sales/Operations/Art creation at Karen Robertson Design, and as a Sales Associate/Designer at J. Turner & Company in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Sheri never met a stranger, was a powerfully loyal friend, and loved her family and her dog Zapp.
