It is with deep sorrow that the family of Sherry Lynn Baskin Nettles, 66, of Brunswick, announces her death Tuesday, November 8, 2022, following a brief illness.
Born in Boynton Beach, FL, she was a daughter of the late Ronald Milton Baskin and Marlene Smith Baskin. A 1974 graduate of Glynn Academy, she later attended the Texas Bible College and earned a degree in Biblical studies. She met and married David Pearson, and from this union, was born three children, who she loved and adored. She was a long-time member of the United Pentecostal Church and served in various capacities within the church. Over the past several years, she suffered many health issues, and through every trial, her trust and faith in God remained steadfast. She was a prayer warrior and intercessor for many. Her love for others unconditional. Among many wonderful attributes, she will be remembered for being that lady with unwavering strength, her smile and laughter and having such a melodious voice that not only captured the heart of those listening, but the God she worshipped and served.
Survivors include her children, Nathan Pearson, Tammi Sanders (Glenn) and Michael Pearson; grandchildren, Stephanie Dupriest (Bryan), Elias Pearson and Finn Pearson; great-grandchildren, Emma Dupriest, Jaxsen Dupriest, and Maddox Dupriest; a sister, Meg Evans (Jimmy); a brother, Randy Baskin; aunts, Earlene Horan (Henry) and Willene Smith (R.D.); and her former husband and best friend, Christopher Nettles.
