Born on March 16, 1961, in Hammond, Indiana, to the late Carl Martin and Wilma Lindsey Martin. Sherry spent her life creating a tapestry of love and support for those fortunate enough to know her. Besides her father, she was preceded in death by her husband of 43 years Gregory Dale Allen and a sister, Debra Jane Martin.

She is also survived by seven grandchildren, Jacob, Taylor, Aaron (Comfort), Brayden, Paxton, Lily and Abigail; one brother, Matthew Martin (Renee) and a sister, Patty Leach. Her laughter and kindness will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will forever resonate in the hearts of her family and friends.
