Sherry Dee Benton, 75, of Providence, KY passed away peacefully on Friday, November 6, 2026 at Baptist Health Deaconess in Madisonville, surrounded by family.
She was born on June 15, 1951 in Providence to the late Virgil Archie Benton and Helen Matilda Bradley. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Archie Lee Benton, and Larry Yarbrough, as well as her beloved sister, Debi Jane Morris.
Sherry had worked for Green River Intra-county Transit System for over 20 years as well as Hoover Line plastic factory for over 15 years.
She was also a member of New Hope Independent Baptist Church.
Sherry dedicated her life to always making sure others were put before herself. She would give someone her last dollar if she felt they needed it more than her. Sherry lived a truly selfless life and never wanted anything more than to see those around her happy. Her nephew/son Matthew would say if the world had a few more “Sherry’s” it would be a better place for everyone. Sherry always loved people to smile and be happy.
Because of this and her wishes, Sherry does not want anyone to be sad for her, she would rather it be more of a celebration of life because she has completed her life’s journey and has went on to be with the Lord as well as others passed before her.
She is survived by her nephews, Matthew (Abby) Benton and Michael (Stephanie) Morris, as well as her Brother in-law, Jay Morris.
Graveside services will be held at 11:00 A.M. Monday, November 16, 2026 at Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Providence with Bro. Billy Hatfield officiating. Burial will follow in the cemetery.
