Sherryl Lee (Farroh) Stensos, 74

Loving wife, mom and grandma, Sherryl Lee (Farroh) Stensos, 74, passed away on Jan. 27, 2020, at The HealthCenter with her loving family by her side.

Sherryl was born on Nov. 1, 1945, in Williston, North Dakota, to Victor and Arlene (Nelson) Farroh. Sherryl grew up in Williston and graduated from Williston High School in 1963, and then went on to attend Williston Junior College.

Sherryl married James Stensos on Sept. 16, 1967, in Williston. They celebrated 52 wonderful years together.

She worked for many years as a receptionist at Western Dakota Medical Group and then moved on to American Family Insurance.

She was very active in supporting Jim as a state board member in the auxiliary for the Rural Letters Association.

Sherryl loved taking care of and spoiling her grandchildren. She was an amazing cook and was so proud to pass down her heritage and skills to her children. She enjoyed hosting her family for large meals. Her specialty was Lebanese food. We will miss not being able to call you, Mom, and ask how much allspice to add.

She especially enjoyed watching her grandson Cody play hockey and baseball. When Cody was little he would say that Grandma Sherryl was the best at lacing his skates. She was a great hockey mom and grandma. She just enjoyed life and her family.

In Sherryl’s younger years she played softball and was part of a team that made it to the National Tournament in Eugene, Oregon.

The best part of Sherryl was her love and devotion as a wife, parent and grandparent. She thrived on being with her family.

Sherryl was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Richard Farroh and sister Beverly Farroh.

She is survived by her husband, James Stensos; children, Kristy and husband Travis Tveidt, of Whitefish, and Jason and wife Brandi Stensos of Minneapolis; grandchildren, Cody Tveidt, Fynlee Tveidt, Sloan Stensos and Neve Stensos; brother, James Farroh; and several nieces and nephews.

Cremation has taken place and services will take place at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Williston on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 10 a.m.

The family suggests memorials be made in Sherryl’s name to cancer research.
