Sherry A. Barnes, 57, of Fargo, ND, formerly of Casselton, ND, passed away Wednesday, August 13, 2025, in Eventide Fargo surrounded by her loving family.

Sherry Ann Barnes was born November 13, 1967, the daughter of Conrad P. and Sherian A. (Mischke) Barnes in Fargo, ND. She was raised in Casselton, ND, where she graduated from Central Cass High School in 1986. She then furthered her education at the University of Crookston for one year, followed by earning a degree in Business Administration from Moorhead Technical College.

After completing her education, Sherry established her home in Fargo where she began her career with Upward Bound Program at North Dakota State University in Fargo. It was during this time that she also began working for Konrad Olson Commercial Real Estate as an office assistant. When the Upward Bound Program was discontinued, Sherry continued her professional journey at U.S. Bank, specializing in title research.

In 2003, Sherry faced a significant challenge when she lost the mobility in her legs due to Multiple Sclerosis. After spending several months in Villa Maria Nursing Home, she returned to Casselton to reside with her parents. Following the passing of her mother in 2017, Sherry became a resident of Elim Care Center in Fargo, living there for three years until the fire when she was then relocated to Eventide on Eighth in Moorhead, MN. In the fall of 2020, she transferred to Eventide Fargo where she has resided for the last five years.

Sherry found joy in crafting, watching and collecting movies, and had large selection of cookbooks. She especially cherished her collection of shot glasses, many of them which were gifts from family and friends who travel throughout the country.

She will be dearly missed by her brother, Conrad (Sharon Hendrickson) Barnes, Moorhead; nephew, Sheldon (Masaki) Barnes, Iwakuni, Japan; nieces, Courtney (Abbey) Beaumont, Kimberly, WI, and Kassie (Sean) Szuberski, Inver Grove Heights, MN; great-nephew, Delano Sakuto Barnes; very dear and special friend, Toni (Paul) Huisman, La Center, WA; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents; and her beloved poodle, Pepper.

A very special thank you to HIA Hospice for their compassionate care during her final weeks on this earth. Sherry’s family can never thank the Nurses, CNA’s and staff at Eventide Fargo enough for the love, care, patience and understanding they provided during the last five years.

A Visitation for Sherry will begin at 12:00 PM, Friday, August 22, 2025, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 1:00 PM in The Centrum in Eventide Fargo.

Sherry will be laid to rest in St. Leo’s Catholic Cemetery, Casselton, ND.
