Sherry was born on December 10, 1943, in Wellington, TX to the late Travis Clinton McGuire and Oma Lee Brisbin McGuire. She was raised in Quail, TX, where she graduated high school and attended Buck Creek Baptist Church, where she became a Christian. She married Dan Hiett, Sr. in 1962, and they had three children, Tammy, Dan (Dana), Jr., and Tyra. Sherry worked forty years of her life in various banks throughout Texas. She started as a teller and worked in various positions, and eventually became a Vice President of operations for twenty years until she retired in 2004. In 2010, she married the love of her life and soul mate, Irving McCracken. They resided at Emerald Bay in Bullard, TX until the time of her death. Together, they traveled all over the world, which had always been a dream of hers. They took many cruises and enjoyed seeing the sights and exploring new places. She also enjoyed planting flowers and watching cooking shows, even though she never tried any of the recipes! Her father, Travis McGuire had the greatest impact on her life. Sherry always said he “taught me to have high morals and better myself.” This is a lesson she imparted on her children as well. Sherry’s greatest accomplishment was being the best mother and Granny to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She left behind a beautiful legacy for all who knew her.
