It is with sadness that we share news that our friend and colleague, Sherri Anderson, recently passed away. In her 31 years as an Accounting professor at SSU, Sherri was dedicated to students, committed to our School, and active with our University and in the community. Her impact on our campus and our lives will always be remembered fondly.
Sherri retired from teaching in 2013 though her career at SSU began as a student. She earned a B.A. in Management from SSU in 1977 and went on to become a C.P.A. in 1980. She earned an M.B.A. from San Francisco State University in 1983. In the fall of 1981, following a stint working for a public accounting firm in San Rafael, Sherri began her teaching career. She educated thousands of students during her career at SSU and helped guide them to successful careers in finance and accounting.
In addition to teaching, Sherri served as a member of the board for the YWCA and the California Board of Accountancy.
Our thoughts are with Sherri’s family during this difficult time. Family and friends are invited to celebrate the life of Sherri Anderson at a memorial service to be held on Saturday, July 1 at 12 p.m. at the Petaluma Baptist Church (580 Sonoma Mountain Pkwy). All are welcome to attend. Instead of sending flowers, the family suggests making a donation to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospice or a charity of your choice.
Sincerely,
Dr. William S. Silver
