Sherry attended "country" school with one room, one teacher, 10 multi-age classmates and no shoes. When the roads were improved, buses carried the children to the school in Yorktown. Sherry was a high school cheerleader and was voted Miss YHS. After graduation, she moved to Corpus Christi to work as a data entry keypunch operator for CP&L.
At a local coffee shop in 1957, Sherry met Charles Edgar. Five months after the first date, they married on October 20th. Sherry and Charles had three sons, Bruce, Lindy, and Vance.

They enjoyed traveling and she became an enthusiastic fan of both the University of Texas Longhorns and the Refugio Bobcats. Carl Barnhart Jr. died in July of 2017.
