Lafon, Sheryl Lynne Parr
Sheryl Lynne Parr Lafon, age 59, originally from Maybrook a community of Pembroke, VA, died March 27th, 2014 at Heritage Hall Rich Creek in Rich Creek, VA. Born in Pearisburg, VA on April 20, 1954, she was a daughter of the late Frazier R. and Sadie E. Tawney Parr.
She had resided in Roanoke, VA since 2007, but considered Pembroke her home. Her first passion of life was family and she received a lot of pleasure from family get-togethers. Her second passion of life was friends and acquaintances.

She was a 2001 retiree from the Federal Government; a 1972 graduate of Giles High School, and an active and life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She loved children, animals, and Bluegrass music! In lieu of flowers Sheryl has asked that you please visit someone.
