Georgia Wisner Sherrill, 45, of Rogers, Ark., left this world on July 3, 2013, at MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas, after a valiant and courageous battle with breast cancer.

She grew up in Kensett, Ark., where she was a gifted athlete and member of the North Pulaski High School Class of 1986.

She played basketball at the University of Central Arkansas and Texas Wesleyan University, where she graduated in 1990. While in college, Georgia began working for Sam's Club as a cashier. Her Walmart career would span 25 years and end with her most recent promotion in April of this year to Sr. Director of Global Integrated Processes. She was committed to her professional development and in 2009 completed a Master's Degree at Webster University, graduating with High Honors and was selected as Outstanding Student. Georgia was a devoted mother to her three girls: Emily (16), Madison (14) and Rachel Grace (8). Together with Robert they enjoyed camping, four wheeling, beach vacations, attending school and sports activities, and were avid NASCAR fans (Go #24!). She loved traveling, shopping, and spending time with her friends.
