Sherrill Gale Stevenson
September 28, 1943 ~ October 27, 2023
Sherrill Gale Stevenson of The Villages, Florida, went home to be with our Lord on October 27, 2023, at the age of 80.
She is survived by Dean Stevenson, her loving husband of 55 years, along with two sons, Bradley and Scott Stevenson, and her daughter in law Allison Stevenson. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Daniel and Paxton Stevenson, Parker Ridaught, and niece, Carol Speck, to whom she was very close with.
Sherrill was born in Gulfport, Mississippi on September 28, 1943, to John Dalton Johnson and Helen Elizabeth Johnson. Her brother John Dalton Johnson Jr. and sister Myrtis Johnson Trehern preceded her in death. After attending the University of Southern Mississippi, Sherrill worked as a loving and supportive housewife raising her two sons in Marietta, Georgia before retiring with Dean to the Villages, Florida in 1994. She was a member of the New Covenant United Methodist Church in The Villages, Florida.
Sherrill enjoyed gardening, playing cards, cruising throughout the world, cheering on Dean at his softball games, spending time with her family, and was a fan of TV and cinema of all kinds. She was full of energy, possessed a heart full of southern charm and hospitality, and always had a kind and caring spirit. Her beloved husband, family, and friends were the joys of her life.

Sherrill was the friendliest and happiest person I have ever known. She always amazed us, mowing the grass, working in the yard and cruising. Her happy laugh is missed on Dowding Way!
Sherrill was a bright light in any room she entered. She brought joy to so many. We will never forget her wonderful laugh! She made everyone she met feel loved. So much love to all of you. ❤️
I will miss you and hold precious memories close. A golden heart stopped beating, God only takes the best.
A beautiful voice has gone quiet, only the angels can hear. Forever remembered for your gift to all, rest in peace with our Lord my dear.
