    • Cora Mae J. Sherman

      We, the Sherman and Sanford families would like to announce the sad passing of our beloved wife and mother, Cora Mae Jean (Sanford) Sherman. Cora was born on January 17, 1931 in Hantsport, to the late Morien and Pearl (Benjamin) Sanford, the eldest daughter of eight. Cora was a kind, compassionate, generous woman, always looking out for someone who needed encouragement, a word of reassurance, or help along the way. She had a way of making you feel special, remembering everyone's birthdays, anniversaries, and other special moments. She taught Sunday school, visited seniors, baked for potlucks, and was a hostess for small groups for over 40 years at Forest Hills Fellowship Baptist Church. She tirelessly cared for her husband, Lee, who sadly passed just four months ago after 66 years of marriage. Mom, we will miss you beyond words. Isaiah 41.10. Cora was predeceased by her husband, Lee; siblings, Gordon (Judy), Shirley (Stevens), Doug, Danny (Mona), Julie Ann; sister-in-law, Judy (Forsythe), and niece, Carla (Hamilton). Funeral services will be held on February 13th at 1 p.m. in Atlantic Funeral Home, 771 Main St., Dartmouth. This will be followed by graveside burial in Riverbank Cemetery in Hantsport.
