"Sherry Kay Whitehead, age 73, of Faribault, died on Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis.       Memorial services will be held at Boldt Funeral Home, Faribault, on Saturday, March 18, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. Private family interment will be held at Fairview Memorial Park Cemetery, Fairmont.        Memorial visitation will be held at Boldt Funeral Home, Faribault, for one hour prior to the services on Saturday, March 18th.        Sherry Kay, the daughter of Virgil and Vivian (Lincoln) Schoeneweiss, was born on April 18, 1943 in Flat River, MO. She married Dennis Whitehead on July 20, 1963 in Fairmont. He preceded her in death in October of 2013.        Sherry is known for her involvement in church, including being elected the executive secretary at Fourth Baptist Church until her retirement, hosting parties and gatherings in her own home, and the head cook at Camp Clearwaters year after year.       She enjoyed socializing with friends and family, especially when it came to playing endless board and card games. She also found joy in baking, adding plenty of extra love to every recipe. We could taste the difference.      Sherry was filled with generosity and kindness, a trait immediately recognized by those who cared for her. This always shone through, even when she was being “spunky” or “determined.”  She not only loved her grandchildren, but the children of her caregivers called her “Grandma Sherry” as well.        She never let her disease keep her down. She always liked to look nice. Even at the hospital, she received compliments on her beautiful nails. We remember her for her quick wit, strong heart, and love for family that came from deep within her.        She is survived by three children, Scott (and Joy) Whitehead of Jordan, Lisa (and Woody) Buchanan of Faribault, and Drew Whitehead of Burnsville; four grandchildren, Keith Whitehead, Royce Buchanan, Logan Whitehead, and Colin Whitehead; three siblings, David (and Sylvia) Schoeneweiss of Green Bay, WI, Paula Schoeneweiss of Rockford, IL, and Gale (and Roxanne) Schoeneweiss of Rockford, IL; and several nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be directed to Sherry’s Memorial Tribute Page at the National Parkinson’s Foundation, https://tinyurl.com/sherrywhitehead."
