Someone once said: “behind every great man, you will find a great woman”. Sometimes, the great woman is beside him.

I am not alone in thinking that Jim Womack is a great man, and I recently had the pleasure of meeting the great woman beside him.

Lt. Col. Sherry-Lynn Womack, United States Army (Retired) is a truly impressive woman. She is a tiny little package of dynamite! Like her husband Jim, her post-Army activities include public service. She currently serves on the Lee County NC School Board.

I could sit here and write all evening about this remarkable woman, but the videos shown below might tell you more.

After writing this article, I discovered another gem among Sherry-Lynn’s YouTube videos. Listen to beautiful voices singing Amazing Grace, and read her comment below explaining why she requested this hymn be sung at her retirement ceremony.
