Sherri Anastasia Pester

Sherri Anastasia Pester, 54, of Harvest, Al. passed away peacefully on May 16^th after a courageous battle with cancer surrounded by her friends and family.

Sherri was born in Bristol, Tn. On Feb. 16, 1966.  She graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and was a devoted UT fan. She worked as a Clinical Dietician at Parkway Medical Center/Huntsville Hospital in Decatur, Al. for the past 30 years.  Sherri was the most faithful mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, colleague, and caregiver that God or anyone could ask for.  She is and will be missed greatly, but she has left much of herself behind to sustain us.  Jesus said He “came to serve and not to be served”; Sherri was a perfect and shining example of doing just that.

Sherri is survived by her husband of 16 years, Joseph Charles Pester, daughters Haley Kristen Fiorucci and Anna Lauren Fiorucci and step-daughter Jordann Pester, parents James Rowland Jr. and Ann Rowland of Bristol, Tn., brothers Bruce Rowland, his wife Crystal and their four children of Bristol, Tn., and Glen Rowland, his wife Rhoda Kay, and their son of Monrovia, In.,

In lieu of a funeral, the family is arranging a private life-celebration at a time and place to be determined.  They want to extend a huge thank-you to all her friends and caregivers who lovingly made her life and last few weeks better.  In place of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital, in Sherri’s memory.
