Sherry Katherine Jester passed away on Sunday in Las Vegas at Sunrise Hospital after a short but valiant battle with ovarian cancer. She was born on March 6, 1959 in Bell Gardens, Calif., to Jacob and Barbara Glatt. She married the love of her life Robert Jester on Feb. 11, 1978. They made Chino Hills, Calif., their home for 16 years and then retired to Lake Havasu City in 2004 where they built their dream home and lived happily for the next five years. Never were two souls more connected, and she will be deeply missed by all her family and friends.

Sherry worked for Electronic Data Systems for 20 years and then worked as a bookkeeper for Lake Havasu Vacation Rentals and Lakeview Family Dental. She loved riding her ATVs with her husband, Robert and their friends, Tom and Pat Mowery and Bill and Kay Hoffman. She also loved to go Jet Skiing with Deb and Carlos Ruiz, scrap booking, sewing and playing bunco with her girls. She was a wonderful mother to her children, Jennifer Jester-Madrigal and Thomas Jester, both of California, and will be cherished by them always. She lived her life for her family, and she was the center of their world and will be missed beyond measurement.

Sherry is survived by her beloved husband of 31 years, Robert; her children Jennifer Jester-Madrigal and Thomas Jester; her grandchildren, Isaiah, Andrew, and Nicholas Madrigal; her parents, Jacob and Barbara Glatt, of Post Falls, Idaho; her brother, Dean Glatt of Bakersfield, Calif.; her brother, Jay Glatt, of Studio City, Calif.; her sister, Jacqueline Pyle of Ladera Ranch, Calif.; nephews, Darren and Charles Glatt, Tristan Pyle; nieces, Heidi Glatt-Fifita and Sarah Bonkowski; great-nieces, Makayla and Nia Fifita; and godson, Scott Becker.
