On June 26, 1965 Sherlee married Peter Feyen, her devoted husband of 51 years. Sherlee worked as a surgical RN for 44 years at Mercy Medical Center. Her dedication to Mercy continued into retirement, when she volunteered in the gift shop & with the projects group. Sherlee's specialty was crocheting baby booties for the gift shop.
Sherlee enjoyed sewing, knitting, crocheting and numerous other crafts. She was generous with her time and talents, creating costumes for ballet recitals, plays & other special programs.
