Both sisters loved the outdoors, Karen
started her debut on cross -country skis as a child, while
sister Sheryl began as an adult. It's still hard for some
of us to believe
that Sheryl, an active canoeist, skier, hiker, biker and
healthy person, is gone. It doesn't make a lot of
sense.
Sheryl Smith
was well known in Houston and it was she that coined
Houston's first logo: "Where the welcome
is warm and the wilderness beckons." She purchased
the Paradise Sports store in 1990 and often found herself
in the middle of many meetings for different clubs and
organizations. She was a key personality in the Houston
Merchant Association, was a charter member
of the Morice Mountain Nordic Ski Club and helped with
the
Figure Skating Club, Safe Grad and the Chamber of Commerce
to name
a few. |
