Sherry Lynn Grunhaus

Sherry Lynn Grunhaus, age 71, of Murray, Kentucky, went to be with her Lord on October 5, 2025. She was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, on December 31, 1953, to the late Millard D. Briggs and Kathlyn Roderick.

From a young age, Sherry carried a heart for service and compassion. She lived that calling through her career as a registered nurse, where she cared for countless patients over the years. Nursing was more than an occupation to her—it was a ministry of kindness, patience, and empathy. Those who knew her best remember how she treated every life entrusted to her hands with dignity and respect.

Faith was at the very center of Sherry’s life. She was a devoted member of Community Christian Church and found great joy in studying Scripture, praying daily, and encouraging others in their walk with Christ. Her love for the Lord guided her decisions, sustained her in difficult times, and was reflected in the way she loved her family and friends. Outside of her work and church, Sherry was a devoted quilter and found peace and joy in counted cross stitch. 

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Jim Briggs.

She leaves behind a legacy of love in her family: her husband of 44 years, Elie Grunhaus of Murray, Kentucky; her son, Daniel Grunhaus and wife Colleen of Raleigh, North Carolina; and her daughter, Rachel Anna Hollar and husband Greg of Rochester, New York. Though she will be dearly missed, her influence and faith live on through them.

Funeral services for Sherry will be held at 1 P.M. on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at Imes Funeral Home, 311 N. 4th Street Murray, KY 42071, with Larry Call officiating.  Burial will follow at the Murray City Cemetery.

Her family welcomes visitors from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 7, 2025 at the funeral home.
