Sherri Whatley Daugherty

Sherri Whatley Daugherty, age 60, passed away peacefully on July 27, 2025, in Auburn, Alabama. She was born on September 3, 1964, in Montgomery, Alabama, and was raised in Evergreen, Alabama.

Sherri graduated from Auburn University in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Coordinated Dietetics. Her passion for helping others through nutrition and wellness led her to work in several hospitals before founding her own business, Life Source Consulting. Through this venture, she provided dietetic care and services to hospitals and skilled nursing facilities across Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

Sherri met the love of her life, Ryan W. Daugherty, in Mobile, Alabama. The two shared a marriage of 35 years, raising their family in Troy and Auburn, Alabama. Together, they built a life rooted in faith, service, and love.

A proud Auburn alumna, Sherri had a deep love for her alma mater. She especially enjoyed Auburn football and could always be found cheering on the Tigers each fall. Her family will forever hear her voice shouting “War Eagle!” with joy and pride.

Sherri served on the board of Promise International, an organization close to her heart. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to www.promiseinternational.org

She was preceded in death by her parents, William K. Whatley and Willene J. Whatley.
She is survived by her loving husband, Ryan W. Daugherty; her sons, Kyle William Daugherty (Holly Danielle Daugherty) and Cullen Whatley Daugherty; and her three sisters, Kimberly W. Skodack (Mark A. Skodack), Kelly W. Pettit (Kevin J. Pettit), and Paige W. Gasser (O. Hunter Gasser).

Sherri will be remembered for her kind heart, her dedication to her profession, her deep devotion to family and friends, and her unshakable Auburn spirit. War Eagle.
