Sherry Marlene Henry Rust, 60, of Owensboro, passed away September 13, 2023, under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky. She was born July 16, 1963, in Daviess County, to Joyce Carter Henry and the late Mackey Henry. Sherry dedicated the past 12 years of her life to being a caregiver and was currently employed at True North Treatment Center. She was a member of Redemption Place and God’s Girls, a bible study group that she founded.
To many, she was known as Sherry, but to her grandchildren, she was Grammy. She dedicated her life to Jesus and being a disciple to women. Helping others was her calling in life. Sherry loved being with her kids, family, and friends. She just completed her GED and celebrated 18 years of sobriety this year. Sherry enjoyed her time near the water, whether she was at the beach or by the pool tanning.
Along with her father, Sherry was preceded in death by her brother, Mark Henry.
Those left to cherish Sherry’s memory are her children, Joe (Angel) Welsh and Lacie (Will) McLaughlin; grandchildren, Izaiah McLaughlin, Aiden McLaughlin, Lyrik McLaughlin, Charlotte “Charleigh Girl” Welsh, Parker Freels, Braden Freels, and Tucker Scarbro; brother, Roger (Pam) Henry; and so many others she considered family.
