This past August we were saddened by the news of the passing of Sherry Dorris, the beloved wife of Sid Dorris, Past Grand Master of Masons in Tennessee and Right Eminent Grand Generalissimo of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America.
I first met Sherry some five or six years ago while attending the annual Conclave of the Grand Commandery of South Carolina, and she immediately impressed me as a woman of southern charm. She was gracious, warm, and inviting. That first impression I had of her never changed as long as I knew her, and her charm never wavered. She was also a woman of Christian faith. This faith inspired all of her relationships, and I am sure it sustained her in the difficult periods of life especially in her declining days. We know that her husband, Sid, and their family have suffered a great loss but so has Masonry and Templary. Her gracious presence at annual Conclaves will be missed, and the support she gave her husband in his Masonic endeavors will be lost. But as a Christian organization, we take comfort in the promise of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” Sherry will live on in the hearts of her husband and family, and she will live on in the memory of all Knights Templar who knew her, but more importantly, she will live eternity in the presence of God. To our Right Eminent Grand Generalissimo, Sid Dorris, and his family, all of Templary extends its condolences and our prayers for comfort on your loss.
