Sheryl Ann Lagge (Gage), as of October 7, 2022, went to be with God from her home at the age of 51. She fought a long and courageous battle with glioblastoma multiforme (brain cancer). She was surrounded by loved ones who will remember her as a caring wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend.

The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Sheri. She treasured quiet evenings with family, her two dogs (Loki and Malachi), and all her children's friends that frequented her home. Sheri loved the outdoors, hiking, and beautiful sunsets. She wouldn't admit it, but she loved receiving flowers; some of her favorites included hollyhocks, peonies, roses, and marigolds. She was so sweet and undoubtedly loves Jesus Christ. No matter the circumstances, she always prayed with thanksgiving. In her daily prayers, until her last days, she thanked God for her family, the birds, and the trees (So cute!). Her personality was delightful, yet sassy, and magnetic enough to draw in everyone she encountered. Her vivacious and giving spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

Sheri lived to bring love and peace to everyone she met. She embodied 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind…." To have known Sheri is to know true love.

Sheri was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Michael Arthur Gage and Kathleen JoAnn Daczewitz on February 19, 1971. She moved to South Dakota in her early teens and attended Spearfish High School. She married the love of her life, Scott Lagge, on June 29, 1996, and eventually moved to Colorado. Sheri worked as a hair stylist for many years, she then was a preschool teacher for some time after that. However, her most important job was to be a stay-at-home mom. In more ways than can be counted, she spread beauty and love to everyone she touched.

Sheri's biggest priority and success in life was raising her three children; Brandon Gage, Jessica Lagge, and Carter Lagge. They were blessed to have the most tender, generous, loving, protective, supportive, encouraging, kind, and graceful mother imaginable. Through her, they have grown to be reflections of her light to carry on in this world.

Sheri was a warrior in her fight against Glioblastoma Multiforme; furthermore proving her tenacious spirit. She was an anomaly in her existence of how long she survived. To all who had the gift of more time with this angel on earth, shall we be eternally grateful.

"Sheri, we know that we cannot have you here but we're happy knowing that the angels have finally got you back. Goodbye to a wonderful woman and beautiful mother"

I will love you and miss you for the rest of my life!

-I will see you again someday! Love, Scott
