In her younger years, she was a sidekick to Dutchie Leonard in Dryden and attended Fireman’s Musters and antique auctions with him.

Mitchell Post 3335, where she served as President from 1999-2000, and the Hillside Sportsmen’s Club. Sherian enjoyed traveling to fairs with Johnny, playing cribbage; which earned her the nickname “Miss Flip”, Texas Hold ’em, and Bingo.
