Sheri Wales

Sheri Lynn Wales, of Twin Falls, passed away Saturday, Dec. 5, 2009, at her home. She was born April 2, 1967, in Seattle, Wash., to Oscar and Lillian Carlson. The family moved to Twin Falls in 1970. Sherri has resided in Twin Falls and Kimberly since then. She graduated from Twin Falls High School in 1985. While in school, she enjoyed sports and played basketball and softball. She also loved football, especially "The Seahawks." On March 11, 1989, she married Ron Wales of Kimberly. From this union, three children were born. They were the pride of her life. Sheri and Ron later divorced but have remained friends. Sheri was an outdoor person who loved to load her kids and dogs in the camper and take off for some remote area to camp and fish. She always invited friends and family to join them, because she loved to be around people. Sheri was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Lillian Carlson. Sheri is survived by her three children, Ronnie, Katie and Ally, all of Kimberly; one sister, Susie (Earl) Mayfield of Atlanta, Ga.; three brothers, Steve (Charlie) Carlson and Jeff Carlson, both of Twin Falls, and Mike (Patty) Carlson of Seattle, Wash.; her very special friend and companion, Lonnie White; several nieces; one nephew; and many family members too numerous to mention. She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10, at Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home, 2551 Kimberly Road in Twin Falls.
