Sherry Christine Blanco, 65, passed away on October 10, 2026. She was born on January 12, 1961, in Trinidad and Tobago, to her parents, Christine and Glenn Harnamji. She was a resident of Friendswood, TX, for 15 years and was formerly of Wichita, KS. Sherry worked for CCISD as a nutrition services manager for the last 12 years and spent many of her working years devoted to raising her children and caring for her family as a mother and homemaker.

Sherry was the rock of her family, a source of strength, love, and support for those she held dear. As a breast cancer survivor, she faced life’s challenges with courage and determination. She lived for her children, grandchildren, and family, and her greatest joy was spending time with them. She loved dancing and will always be remembered as our “Dancing Queen.” Her love and the memories they shared will remain in their hearts forever.

Sherry was preceded in death by her father, Glenn Harnamji, and her brothers, Andre Harnamji and Jensen Harnamji.

She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Fredy Blanco; her mother, Christine Harnamji; her daughters, Erika Gonzales (Kevin Obura), Leslie Rector (Trevor), and Ashlie Blanco (Brandan Babin); her son, Michael Gonzales (Erica); her sisters, Peggy Artavia (Pablo) and Candice Norris; and her grandchildren, Evan Gonzales, Sofia Gonzales, Elan Obura, Madilyn Gonzales, Charlotte Rector, Riley Rector, Lainey Rector, Cameron Blanco, and Kinsley Babin.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Sherry’s honor to support breast cancer research and support services.
