Obituary
Sherri Lynn Matlock, 65, passed peacefully in her sleep on May 7, 2020. She was born May 5, 1955 in Maywood, CA to Walt and Dixie Hudson and raised in California and Oregon. On June 25, 1977, she married George Lee Matlock in Alameda, CA, settling in Pomona. Prior to moving to Laguna Hills five years ago, they lived in Northern California and raised four sons.
Sherri was a loving wife, dedicated mother, wonderful grandmother, and loyal friend to all. She devoted her time to serving the Lord and caring for her family. She was an active member of the church families in Saddleback Valley church of Christ in Irvine, Alameda church of Christ, and Dublin church of Christ. Sherri’s favorite activity was spending quality time with her children and grandchildren and going on outdoor adventures with her husband. Her other interests included visiting Disneyland, antiquing, collecting Victorian-era figurines and paintings, and being in service to others (whom she always put before herself).
She is survived by her husband George of 43 years; sons Jacob, Joshua, Daniel, and David; daughters-in-law Anai, Kimberly, and Laura; grandchildren Jacob Jr., Robert, Alayna, Samuel, Walter, Julia, Cole, Juliette, and Caitlyn; sister Lori and her family; sister Cindy and her family; sister-in-law Bev and family; mother-in-law Masayo; sister-in-law Mary and her family; and sister-in-law Belinda and her family.
Sherri spent her last few days smiling, enjoying time with her family, and helping others. Her family is comforted knowing Sherri is with God and we can see her again one day.

Through the years, as our visits where short, I can only remember Sherri as a kind, loving person with a pleasant sense of humor

I will remember Sherri for her kindness and joy. She and Bev came to visit me in the hospital before a surgery and came to see Frank after he came home after heart surgery. She and George were always willing to open their home for get togethers even though she often didn’t feel well. Sherri enjoyed life and seemed to have crazy stories to tell, i.e. getting her wallet stolen in London airport, but somehow it gave the police and other Londoners the chance to show their goodness because I just know her attitude invited such kindness. She greeted everyone with a smile from her lips and joy in her eyes that you knew she truly cared about you despite the pain she often endured. Sherri will be missed on this earth but we are confident that there is joy in heaven to welcome her home. God Bless the entire family.

I remember Sherri as a person full kindness and joy. She was constantly serving others. She and Bev came to the hospital to visit me in the hospital before a surgery and came to the house to visit Frank after his heart surgery. She and George kindly offered their home for get togethers,even though Sherri often did not feel well. Sherri enjoyed life and shared her crazy adventures with others, i.e. getting her wallet stolen as she slept in the London airport, which allowed he police and other Londoners to respond with goodness because Sherri’s reaction was surely one of kindness and appreciation. She always greeted people with a smile and a twinkle in her eyes that let you know she was focused on you and truly cared, even though she might be in pain. We will all miss her on this earth but are assured that she has been welcomed home with joy in heaven. God Bless the entire Matlock family.

Sherri Matlock has been my close friend these past four years. My husband, Walter, was in the hospital and she offered to go visit him with me. We went often until he passed away. My grief was great, but Sherri was there for me. We went to lunch more times than I can count. We went to museums, took walks along the beach, rode the bus to the Orange County Fair, watch movies and tv. She loved to talk,mostly about her family. I loved to hear it all. When family was in town I loved to spend time with them as if they were my own. She loved God and many of our talks were about principles that came up in our lives and in the lives of others. She often went with me to visit sick church members. She had a deep understanding of the scriptures and would often “preach” to me when I was feeling down. She was more than my best friend and there are no words to express the loss I feel for her. Impossible to say goodbye , I’ll just say until we meet again. Sherri I loved you so much.
