Sheree and I first met many years ago and bonded around both having completed graduate programs in human developmental psychology. When I visited Atlanta typically on business I often would let Sheree know I'd be there and we'd say hello while I was there. During those visits we enjoyed meals and great conversation, just connecting and catching up which was so easy to do with Sheree. She was truly a brilliant, lovely, and warm-hearted person. If ever again I visit Atlanta I will miss saying hello over a meal and catching up with Sheree. Condolences to her family. Elaine F. Jones

Sheree was my sister in Christ. We had known each other for 27 years and I am deeply hurt by her loss but I am comforted to know she is with Jesus. He is holding her in his arms and she has her glorified body. She received her promise of eternal life. Rest my dear sister. Rest. Miss you, Tonia Reaves

Sheree was a beautiful person and had a wonderful smile. She was professional and bright and talented. I wish I could have worked with her more often at CDC over the years.

Sheree and I worked together at the CDC in 2016 for my MPH capstone thesis. She was an amazing mentor and inspiration to me. She reflected so much kindness, warmth and patience. She was a lovey and bright individual and faced all her challenges with a smile on her face. It is my honor that I was able to know her and learn from her.

Sheree and I were colleagues at CDC for almost 20 years. We would see each other at meetings because we worked in different units of the agency. During the last three years before I retired in 2016, we worked together in the Office of Minority Health and Health Equity where we collaborated on a few projects. As behavioral scientists we had so much in common. We would sit in each other's offices where we discussed health, social, and political issues. Sheree was passionate about everything she did. We discussed her travels, nutrition, Faith, and family. We had so much respect between us. I will remember our interactions for years to come. My deepest condolences to her family. You are in my prayers. Dr. George Roberts, Tuskegee, Alabama

Sheree was a kind person. I really appreciated how she moved, how she really was a wonderful example of a scientist and how much she was committed to her work. Meeting her during this time in my life as a young professional, a young scientist and public health practitioner, was an honor and a privilege. I will carry her lessons and her wisdom with me for the rest of my life. I will miss her a lot, but I will carry her with me with the biggest smile on my face. Thank you for being who you are, Sheree, and I send a lot of love and light to the family at this time. Courtni Alexis Andrews

Sheree and I met in the early 2000s when I was just beginning my career at Georgia State University. She was teaching there in addition to her full time job with the CDC. We bonded because we had the same dissertation advisor at Penn State. We loved to share good food together and we did a lot of that. Life, a baby, and cancer caused us to stop doing so with as much frequency as we once did. Somehow last October we managed to get together one last time and it felt epic that night, but even more so now. I was looking so forward to our post-Covid adventures. I will miss the ease of our friendship. I send my condolences to her family, especially her nephew Nehemiah. Nehemiah, you were always on her mind. If there is ever anything I can do to help you as you continue your studies, please feel free to reach out to me. Dr. Romney Norwood, Georgia State University

Sheree and I attended graduate school at Penn State University together. We also had the opportunity to travel and pray together. She is a beloved sister of Christ to me. I'll miss her. My prayer and thoughts in honor of my friend- May the Lord our God embrace my sister Sheree. She embraced life with a passion to learn, explore, and love those she encountered. Your spirit (My Lord) took hold of her heart. Every day she walked with you. Her battles were tough, but her praise was always sweet. Which reflected her countenance as a woman of Christ. The battle was lost, but the victory. The victory was won. She's home. Welcome by the grandest parade, acknowledge as the daughter of the living God, who has served him well. Praise the Lord- all who were blessed by her life. Dr.Lynee Bennett

Sheree was a warm and gentle friend. Our trip to New York is a cherished memory. I dragged her to jazz clubs; she dragged me to a broader understanding of human experience. Sheree taught me grace. She handled her challenges with poise and sensibility, her life with intelligence, humor and love.

Sheree and I both worked with Dr. Spencer at Emory. After receiving our PhDs, Sheree and I would make "good trouble" at conferences by asking tough questions to folks doing research on Black children and not considering their cultural backgrounds. Dr. Sheree Marshall was a trailblazer, incredibly talented scholar, and awesome friend. Sheree will be missed by many! My condolences go to her family and friends. Michael Cunningham

I am so blessed to be among so many who had the privilege of knowing Dr. Sheree Marshall. Sheree and I met 33 years ago in graduate school. We have had a wonderful friendship since. She was such a beautiful person who embraced life, shared herself with others, was well read, traveled often, loved her family and was thankful to God for her life. I will miss our long conversations and special visits. My deepest condolences to the family. So many are praying for you. Rest well, Sheree. Love you! Kim Daniel

Sheree was one of my dearest friends whom I already miss so much. Often with Cathy Smith, we used to text one another almost daily. I will miss her upbeat spirit, intelligence, and insight. I so admired her sense of adventure and bravery. As far as we could tell, Sheree may have been the first African American woman to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro! For the rest of my days, I will miss my gorgeous, warm, funny, and loving friend. My beautiful Sheree, rest well.

Dr. Marshall was my Diverse Populations professor at Mercer University and I absolutely loved our discussions after class. My heart is saddened to hear this news. Dr. Marshall was so nice, extremely intelligent, so elegant, and very graceful. I learned a lot from her. She will be missed.

Dr. Williams was so inspirational to me. She offered me the opportunity of a lifetime to work alongside her at my dream job. Even when plans fell through, she was there to support me with my next opportunity. I am saddened that I didn't get more time to spend with her. Her family and colleagues are in my deepest prayers.
