Sheryl Ann (Swartzendruber) Troxel of Weatherford was born August 25, 1953 to Glenn Swartzendruber and Mabel (Miller) Swartzendruber in Thomas, OK. She gained her heavenly wings on February 13, 2021 at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City, at the age of 67 years, 5 months and 18 days.

Sheryl grew up on the home farm northwest of Hydro graduating from Weatherford High School in 1972. Following graduation, she moved to Tulsa where she worked in a cafeteria and attended school 2-3 years before returning to Weatherford. She continued to work in various restaurants and hotels in Weatherford as well as the Weatherford Opportunity Workshop.

In 1994 she married Wayne Troxel of Weatherford. She lived her adult life in Weatherford and was often seen riding, first her bike and then her canopy covered tricycle, around town to her favorite places. She loved riding her bike, she was fiercely independent, enjoyed the simple things of life and found satisfaction, comfort and peace in the little things. She enjoyed lunch at the senior center, found friends as she attended worship and events at the First United Methodist Church, Emmanuel Baptist Church and the Church of the Nazarene at various points in her life.

She was preceded in death by her mother Mabel Swartzendruber in 2001, her oldest sister Shirley Phelps in 2007 and her father Glenn Swartzendruber in 2011. She is survived by her husband Wayne Troxel of Weatherford, brother-in-law Joel Troxel (April), and niece Addison of Shawnee, OK, sister Marlene Russell (Richard), of Oklahoma City, OK, daughter Susie Howell (Lonnie) of Spring, Texas, brother-in-law Ronald Phelps of Bethany, OK, nephew Michael Phelps (Kim) of Bethany, OK and niece Melissa Johnson (Paul) of Yukon, OK, and great nieces Zoey Phelps, Brooklyn Johnson and great nephew Reid Johnson, as well as many loving cousins and community friends.

We are appreciative of the cousins who lived in the area who cared for her, the ladies at the ETC Shop, especially Ellen Shantz, and her friends in the community who made her feel safe and loved. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: Et Cetera Shop, 121 N. State Street, Weatherford, OK 73096, since this was Sheryl's favorite "hangout".

Casual dress is the choice for the day as Sheryl was a casual dresser in most situations, especially in cold windy conditions.
