Her parents, John and Teen Hatter played music around the county in the late 50s & early 60s, and her Dad built new houses almost yearly, moving the family all over Shepherdsville, but Cedar Grove Road was mainly her home. Sheri graduated from Bullitt Central, and then from Lindsey Wilson College in 1987. She has a daughter, Heather, and three grandchildren, Sydney, Treyton and Champ. While living for a time in Lexington, her Uncle Charles taught her about family research, and learning of an ancestor who served in the Civil War got her really interested in research which continues today.
