Sheri Irene Hyde

Sheri Irene Hyde was born on November 10, 1967, and grew up in Ellensburg, Washington. On October 17, 2026, she left this world.

Sheri was strong-willed, outspoken, and unmistakably herself. She spoke her mind freely, carried a feisty spirit, and brought a presence those around her recognized as entirely her own. Above all, she was a mother. She raised four children—Nicole Kelley, Ceciela Palmer, Aaron Kipp, and Zoey Hyde—and the bond she shared with them continues in their lives. She was also a daughter and a sister whose place within her family endures.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Vicki Harding, and her niece, Alicia Merkle. She is survived by her two stepdads that were around most of her life; William Harding and Kenny Bennet; her children Nicole Kelley, Ceciela Palmer, Aaron Kipp, and Zoey Hyde; her brothers, Butch, Rick and Willie; her sisters, Tami and Melissa; nephew Travis Merkle; and the extended family and loved ones who will remember her in their own ways.

Sheri’s life included challenges, among them a long battle with addiction, yet those struggles were only one part of who she was. What remains is the outspoken spirit she brought to the people closest to her and the lasting connection she holds within her family.

As her family gathers in remembrance, may they find comfort in the memories they share and strength in one another. Sheri’s life and her place among them will not be forgotten.
