Sherry Rowland, 68, died Tuesday, March 26, 2019.  She was born November 4, 1950, in Newton, to her loving and faithful parents Emmert and Virginia Hanke Rowland.

Sherry received her Bachelor’s Degree from Emporia State University and  taught P.E. grades 1-12 as well as coaching all of the girls’ high school sports for 4 years before pursuing and receiving her Masters from Fort Hays State University.  She worked as a high school counselor for the next 10 years.
