1955-2026
Sherry Phillips Witt, 70, of Pine Bluff, was a devout Christian and loving wife, mother and grandmother who spent her life giving herself to others.

Sherry was born June 29, 1955, in Danville, Arkansas, daughter of Raymond Joseph Phillips and Betty Jane Thompson Phillips.
She moved to Texas at a young age and graduated from Plainville High School in Plainville, TX. Sherry attended Wayland Baptist College in Texas.
After moving to Arkansas, she really began to show her passion for taking care of kids. Sherry was a teacher for the Pine Bluff School District and was a volunteer and later receptionist at Seabrook for many years. Along with her husband, Randy, Sherry helped countless children in youth sports at Seabrook.
