Sherlie Jean Cunningham was known for her free and adventurous spirit. She would happily plan spontaneous adventures – if you were spending time with Sherlie, you never knew where you would end up! She was a dedicated guide for Girl Guides for 31 years. In her free time, she loved to tend to her garden. With her spirit of adventure, she loved to travel, a good road trip, and she especially enjoyed her camping trips to Algonquin Park.
