To those of us who knew her, Sherri was a fascinating and ebullient “energizer” who added warmth, excitement, and enthusiasm to every encounter. She was actually a late arrival to the world of marine mammalogy, having only recently finished her PhD in 2018. Sherri was a Guest Investigator at The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at the time of her death, working in the laboratory of noted scientist Michael Moore under a recently received National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Prior to answering the lure of the sea, Sherri was an internationally acclaimed chef and cookbook author, having written well‐known books (including one of JL's favorites, ; Eldridge, 1997 ). She was, indeed, a Renaissance person of enormous depth; our world is much saddened by her absence.
