A Celebration of the life of sherry burcham anderson
Sherry Burcham Anderson attended Mary Washington College and graduated from Madison College, now JMU. She was employed at Beverley Manor Middle School in Augusta County, Keister Elementary School in Harrisonburg, Virginia and most recently, at the child development clinic at JMU. A beloved member of the community, Anderson impacted many people's lives. Sherry was an avid runner as well as a member of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Harrisonburg. "Faithful”, "loving," "caring," "dedicated" and "energizing" were just a few of the words used to describe her. Mrs. Anderson valued education and spent her entire life teaching kids. She was an active member in many community organizations. Mrs. Anderson had enthusiastically volunteered to assist with the HEF’s 5K Walk-Run prior to her death. She was a devoted wife and mother. Mrs. Anderson was tragically killed while running on the morning of January 6, 2009.
