Sherry Jane (Gilley) Bright

Sherry Jane (Gilley) Bright, age 64, of Niles, died peacefully Friday, December 3, 2021.

Her life began August 2, 1957 in LaPorte, Indiana to Billy and Jane Gilley.

She married Richard Bright, in Michigan City, Indiana.

Sherry was a compassionate and giving lady. She had a hard time saying “no” to anybody or anything. She would take Peggy by her hand and run across the yard to Grandma and Grandpa’s home. She loved flowers, her favorite being red carnations. Sherry was a very loving mother, always taking good care of her three sons. She was a fighter, right up until the end.

Sherry will be greatly missed by family and friends.  She is survived by her husband, Richard Bright of Niles; three sons, Jeff Snyder of LaPorte, Indiana, Matthew (April) Snyder of Niles, Michigan; Jon (Melanie) Snyder of LaPorte, Indiana; fifteen grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two sisters, Peggy Harper of Niles, Michigan, Amanda (Dale) Woodward of Colorado Springs, Colorado; one brother, Terry Gilley of LaPorte, Indiana; and a host of nieces and nephews.

 She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Mark Gilley.

Family and friends will gather from 11:00 a.m. until time of service at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 8, 2021 in Wagner Family Funerals Pobocik Chapel, 106 Ash Street East, Three Oaks.
