Sherri Glover

Sherri Glover began riding in 1991. In 1996, at age 27, Sherri became a certified instructor and subsequently coached students as part of the Tennessee Motorcycle Rider Education Program Inc at Nashville State Community College. Sherri often combined her interest in riding with fund raising such as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

At 10:30am on Sunday morning, June 22, 2003, Sherri suffered fatal injuries while enjoying a motorcycle ride on Highway 100 near Fairview. The other driver crossed the double yellow lines and struck her head-on. News reports stated the other driver's Blood Alcohol Content was 0.36 per cent (the legal limit in Tennessee was 0.08 per cent at that time).

Sherri's family thanks the Tennessee Motorcycle Rider Instructors for establishing this annual award in memory of Sherri and for placing the signs honoring Sherri. We wish everyone enjoyment and safety while riding.
