Lafayette, LA - Sherryl Milner Verdugo, 80, a beloved figure of Lafayette for many years, went to meet our Lord on June 22, 2025. She was born in Jennings on December 6, 1944. She graduated from Jennings High School in 1962. She received her bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech in 1966 and later went on to receive her master's degree, also in education. Sherryl was an educator in Louisiana for 30 years, 22 of those in Lafayette parish. She retired in 1998 from Edgard Martin. Her 6th grade students will remember her as Mrs. Wilson. For 27 years, she was a loyal member of First Baptist in Broussard. She also enjoyed teaching Sunday school classes in which she was always well prepared to share the gospel.

Our precious Sherryl is survived by her devoted son, Dirk Odom; siblings, Wayne (Marti) Milner, Carol (Mike) Regan, and Jerry (Cindy) Milner; many nieces and nephews; 10 grandchildren; and her first husband, Jack Odom.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilson and Louise Milner; her second husband, Doug Wilson; and her beloved husband, Jesus Verdugo. Jesus was the love of her life.

Visitation services will be held on Friday, June 27, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM at Delhomme Funeral Home in Lafayette. A funeral service will be held at First Baptist in Broussard by Pastor, Weldon Moak on Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 11:00 AM with visitation beginning at 8:00 AM until time of service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.

Sherryl will be remembered as a loving, beautiful, generous, and most of all faithful woman of God. She loved and enjoyed her family and friends almost as much as her chocolate.
