ABOUT SHERRI

Sherri Lynn Olivier (nee Johannesson) was
born in Winnipeg on March 17, 1956. She grew up in the West End and attended school at Daniel McIntyre Collegiate. It was there she met the
love of her life David. Shortly after she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Manitoba she and David were married. Sherri worked several years at the Health Sciences Centre conducting research in the Department
of Immunology.

After five years of marriage Sherri's first son Justin was born followed shortly after by
Todd, Cory, and Steven. After four boys, Sherri's beautiful daughter Jenna arrived which completed her family.

Sherri was an exceptionally bright light in both mind and spirit. Her interests included sports, gardening, baking, music, the outdoors and her pets. Sherri loved her cabin at the lake and the time she spent there with her family. She loved to golf and to travel with her family, particularly the trips where she could listen to the sounds
of the ocean.

Sherri was a generous person who had a
great sense of commitment to community. She demonstrated this through her involvement with her children's hockey and soccer teams and the countless kilometers she drove every month. Sherri treated everyone with respect and dignity and welcomed everyone into her home and her life. She had an open heart and found beauty
in all people.

In late December 2004, Sherri suddenly suffered
a stroke and passed away a few days later on December 31. Family and friends were shocked and saddened by this tragedy that so quickly befell this young and healthy mother of five. Searching for a way to continue Sherri's legacy
of love and compassion, a charitable committee was set up in Sherri's name in order to help stroke victims and others in need.

Sherri has been described as her family's compass that kept them grounded through good times and bad. Her husband and children will remember her for the love she gave them and
the millions of wonderful memories that she
has left them with. The family knows that there are no goodbyes, rather just a wait until they meet again. We are forever grateful to God for the gift of knowing and loving Sherri and the privilege to be blessed with her presence in
our lives.





CHARITY

The Friends of Sherri Olivier tournament was
first set out with the goal of raising money and awareness for families and more specifically children of need. Not only has that goal been
met but substantially succeeded.

All proceeds from the first golf tournament were donated to the Hickey Family of Leduc, Alberta. The Hickeys had been faced much adversity,
first with tragedy of a life altering stroke that
left Glenda Hickey in a quadriplegic condition called "locked in syndrome". The mother of two toddlers was left trapped in a body completely whole. A second tragedy struck less than a year later when Kevin Hickey, struggling to care for his young family, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

From year two onwards the golf tournament
has dedicated all proceeds to the Children's Rehabilitation Foundation located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This foundation aids children with special needs by managing the allocation of funding for specialized equipment, therapeutic activities and pediatric research.

The partnership between the Friends of Sherri and the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation has helped improve the lives of many children and their families. With this foundation real results have been achieved, and will continue
to be achieved as we push towards our goal of ten years.

This year the golf tournament will officially surpass the $130,000 mark in donations to the foundation!
