After graduation, Sherry moved to Minneapolis for a bit and soon returned to Granite Falls. Upon her return, she married Steve Skogrand on December 7, 1968, and together they were blessed with two sons, Sean and Chad. They later divorced but remained good friends.

Sherry enjoyed staying home with her boys and then went to work first at Red Owl and later became a pharmacy tech at Walmart for over 20 years. She was a member of Granite Falls Lutheran Church and also enjoyed teaching Sunday School.

Sherry enjoyed her flower garden and traveling. One of her treasured memories was traveling to Atlanta, Georgia where she got to see her favorite animal, the panda.
