Letter: Community loses 'a great activist'

During the month of June, our community lost a great activist. Although I didn't have the pleasure of working with her very often, I was aware of a lot of the work she did in our counties.

Sherri Zeigler educated our community on the issues surrounding Hepatitis C. She was responsible for educating hundreds of people every year on the dangers of Hepatitis C, informing people of the importance of prevention, and served as a resource for those stricken with this disease.

She was an outspoken, energetic, and honorable individual who definitely found her calling. Sherri was the face we saw and the voice we heard when the Hepatitis Task Force was doing the great work that they always do.

She touched thousands of lives in a positive way. The legacy she began at the Task Force will be missed but they will continue the excellent example that she set.

Thank you, Sherri, for your service to this community. Our counties were truly lucky to have you with us.
