Sherry was born October 8th, 1963 to Verlie and Darris Kjellsen. She graduated from Arlington High School and Dakota State University with a degree in Elementary and Special Education. She went on to influence many children’s lives while teaching at Tri-Valley, Madison, Lake Preston and Brookings school districts. She had four beautiful children, Amanda, Michelle and Darrik, whom she shared with Brad Bunker, and Jordyn, whom she shared with her husband, Darin Gullickson. Her grandchildren were her ultimate pride and joy. She enjoyed anything that involved the lake and outdoors including boating, camping, gardening, hunting and nature walks with her grandchildren. Sherry had a bright and contagious smile that could light up the room. She had a very loving and compassionate soul that touched everyone she knew. She had a strong faith in the Lord that guided her to be the amazing woman she was. If you were blessed to know Sherry, you would remember her as the first one to jump in the lake, always wanting to dip her feet in the ice cold river, take the ride of her life skiing, tubing, wake surfing or 4-wheeling and enjoy any moment possible soaking up the fresh air and sipping her strong coffee. She had the heart of a competitor and always had the family playing games such as softball, board games and card games. Advice she gave her family in the final weeks of her life were: “Do something you love, with someone you love, in a place you love. Create as many of those moments as possible, and you will have a great life.” – Sherry Gullickson Sherry is survived by her mother, Verlie DeVries, husband, Darin Gullickson, children, Amanda (Tyler) Anderson, Michelle (Dana) Sand, and Darrik (Shelace) Bunker, 9 grandchildren: Haven, Briar and Ledger Anderson, Lennon, Oliver and baby Sand, Hadlee, Brixlee and baby Bunker, siblings, Shayne (Sandy) Kjellsen, DeDe (Scott) Gilbertson, and Jay DeVries, mother and father in law, Sandy and Roger Gullickson and Sister in law, Susan (Todd) Willians, and her many nieces and nephews.
