Sheri Lynn (Leister) Roesner, 58, died on July 31, 2023. She was born on June 14, 1965, to Gayle and Helen (Hoeffner) Leister. She attended South East of Salina and graduated from Sacred Heart High School where she was Homecoming Queen in 1983.  She attended Dental Hygiene School at Wichita State and Kansas State University where she worked her way onto the Dean’s List in 86, 87 and her final graduation year in 88 and went on to be a highly esteemed hygienist in Austin, TX.

The name “Sheri” is derived from the word “Sunshine” and that is an understatement of who she was. She was the life of every party, light of every room and she will be deeply and dearly missed.

Growing up, Sheri was fond of riding horses, bowling, cheerleading and helping out with the family business.  She was an avid traveler and speed walker and Lake Travis visitor. She was happiest on her boat listening to country music, spending time with her family, walking her dog “Buddy”, or somewhere on the beach. Her 3 children, Colton, Chase and Alyssa, were her whole life until she became “grandma” to Oaklynn, Parker and Stella.

She was preceded in death by her father, Gayle, her grandparents, William and Minnie Hoeffner and Glenn and Verna Leister. She was united in marriage to Tom Roesner.

She is survived by her children, Colton (Samantha), Chase, and Alyssa (Steven) Anderson; her mother, Helen and stepfather, Kenny Meyer; three brothers, Rick (Tina), Randy and Rusty (Kelly) and her beloved grandchildren, Oakland, Parker and Stella and several nieces and nephews.
