Sherry Hobgood

AS YOU GO --- willing to be interrupted, Sherry Hobgood, 67, of Madisonville, KY passed away Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at Deaconess Henderson Hospital in Henderson, KY.

She was born July 7, 1956 in Madisonville to the late Ernest Dean Faulk and Joyce Hope Wiggins Faulk. She was also preceded in death by her step-mother, Geraldine Faulk; brothers, Rodger Dean Faulk and Terry Dewight Faulk; sister, Karen Denise Faulk Wilson; and step-sister, Cinthia Lamb James.

Sherry's involvement in various spiritual groups and prayer centers exemplified her unwavering commitment to nurturing the spiritual well-being of others. She stood as a beacon of light, serving as a spiritual figure and guide for many, offering solace, wisdom, and support all throughout our community. Sherry was a member at Stringtown Church and her faith extended beyond and into the community. She frequented the prayer room at Gather, in addition to her involvement in both the Banquet and jail ministries. Sherry's sense of humor let her light up any room she walked into, and made her the best fishing partner one could hope for, too. She was a big jokester, enjoyed gardening, and most of all, loved big.
