Sherry Reusch, age 82 (by just a few days), peacefully passed away surrounded by loved ones. She had lived at Nicol Home in Glasco, KS for the last 5 years to the exact date.Sherry was born on February 5, 1944 to Frank (Spike) and Bonnie Hall. She was the oldest of three siblings. She was raised on an acreage in Fairbury, Nebraska. She dearly loved her childhood and told stories about it forever.
In 1965 , she married Rodney Reusch to which 3 children were born: Geof, Tracy, and Terri.
Sherry worked at a variety of places but her heart belonged to anything to do with playing the piano. She played for too numerous events to count. Some of those included church, weddings, funerals, musicals, high school choirs, etc. She also taught piano lessons for many years. When people complimented her on how wonderfully she played, she was always very humble about it which in turn made her a good role model. We remember her telling us many times “Don’t toot your own horn” as she was appalledby braggarts. She felt that her piano playing was a gift from God not to be taken lightly, which was how she gained the nickname “Magic Fingers.”One of the greatest gifts she gave us was to be our mother. She was the best mother we could have asked for. She set an example of how to treat people and she expected us to follow that.Over the years, she endured many health related challenges. In spite of that, she chose to focus on the well being of others instead of herself.
Sherry was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved brother Kent. She is survived by her children Geof (Susan) of St. Louis, MO, Tracy (Jeff) Travis of Beloit, KS, and Terri (Mark) Headrick of Concordia, KS.
She is also survived by 7 grandchildren (Joseph, Geoffrey, Faith Elise, Taylor, Makenzie, Dane, and Parker.) Also left to mourn her passing is her brother Wayne M.Hall, Brigadier General, US Army, Retired. She also leaves her special friend John and her best friend Bonnie Jantzen of 74 years who has been there throughout her whole journey.There are also a host of nieces, nephews, and friends who will dearly miss her.
