Sherrie L Nichols
1951-2021
It is with sadness that we mourn the loss of our long time friend and club member, Sherrie Nichols. Sherrie, passed away Saturday October 30, 2021. Sherrie was surrounded by her family in Lake Elsinore California. Sherrie was an active SVCC member since 2008. She would make the heroic drive from Lake Elsinore to Simi Valley twice each month, 250 miles round trip! She was the first of us to get a new C7 and her color was always blue which was a total complement to her bright red hair. In 2019, she and member Judy Smith drove with the nation wide caravan to Bowling Green, KY to the Corvette museum. She will be dearly missed. We send our deepest condolences to her family. We love you Sherrie, and we’ll take you with us in our hearts as we travel along the byways.
UPDATE: 11.19.21 Santa Monica: Our club had 14 corvettes on display plus her Vette, and many members attended graveside funeral. The family stated that they were grateful for us and thanked us for being such a huge part of her life.
