Sherri Wastweet, 58

Sherri Lynn Wastweet (Price) was born May 9, 1966, to Lee Daniel and Marianne Elaine Price in Modesto, Calif. In October 1970, Sherri and her family moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Sherri graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School in 1984 and lived the rest of her life in Kootenai County. She worked as a grant administrator for 21 years at Panhandle Area Council in Hayden, Idaho. Sherri was an avid sports fan. She loved the Atlanta Braves, Seattle Seahawks, Gonzaga Bulldogs and NASCAR. She loved most four-legged creatures, including horses, dogs and lions. In 1994, Sherri met the love of her life, John Wastweet. They were married one year later Sept. 3, 1995. They both loved each other very much and frequently told each other so. An ongoing contest was to be the first to say "love you most" each day. Sherri gave her life to Jesus Christ and was baptized alongside John on Aug. 7, 2022. 

Sherri passed away unexpectedly and peacefully Sept. 8, 2024, and is home with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Sherri is survived by her mother, Marianne, brother Earl, husband John, son Corey McGrath, son Jeremy Wastweet, daughter Jennifer Sims, grandsons PFC Kadin Sims, Travis Wastweet, Deacon McGrath and Elliott Walther, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many, many cherished friends. Sherri was preceded in death by her father, Lee Daniel Price, on May 6, 1995. 

A celebration of life and memorial service will be held at the Altar Church, 901 E. Best Ave., Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Oct. 12, 2024, at 2 p.m. A live stream will be available as well. A reception will follow. Let us fill the church with Sherri’s cherished family and friends.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Bell Tower Funeral Home for their compassionate care and cremation services.
