A beautiful baby girl was born to Edna Bryant and Phint Gross on February 12, 1973, in Muskogee, OK. they named her Sherry Laquita "Quita" Sallis.

Her formal education began in the Ft. Gibson school system, where she graduated high school in 1991. She continued her education at Connors College (Business), OSU (Associate Applied Science with Registrars Honor Roll), ICTC (Medical Office Assistant), and Wings (Medical Administrative). She was currently working at BIOS as a program manager. She was loyal to her job; they could always count on her.

Sherry LaQuita accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Four Mile Branch Baptist Church, Ft. Gibson, OK. She was a God-fearing woman always keeping God first. Many people who knew her would tell you she was a beautiful soul with an amazing spirit with a generous heart.

Sherry LaQuita truly loved and enjoyed her music, whether its gospel or R&B, and her hobbies, crafts, art, designing, plants, and working in her yard and family gatherings.

She gave birth to two sons, Keyont'e and Deont'e Sallis, who truly loved and adored her. From her sons, she was blessed to become a "Meme" with four grandchildren, A'Niyah, Kylan, Brayson, and Deont'e Sallis, Jr. Her two nephews (special sons), JaVont'e and Treont'e Sallis that were like her own. She loved her baby sister, Tia Sallis; they had a relationship like glue, an unbreakable sister bond. When you saw one you would definitely see the other. She loved and cherished her mom, Edna Bryant; they had unbreakable love.
