Sheryl volunteers her time at a local hospice. She visits people who are to be on this Earth for only a few more weeks or months. What begins as two strangers evolves quickly into comradeship. Sometimes she reads to her "folks"; sometimes she simply holds their hand; sometimes she quietly rests her hand on their thin, wrinkly forearm. But she always comforts them by letting them know they are not alone. She ends her visits by saying that she'll see them in a few days. Sometimes she does and other times she is not given that opportunity.

She recently completed her tenure as President of the Women's Council of Realtors® in the Seattle area.

In April 2009, Sheryl was selected as a Director on the Washington Association Realtors®.

She has also been appointed as a Council Member for the Burien Parks and Recreation Department.
