Sherry Skye Stuart, Penrose History Columnist
Sherry Skye Stuart has lived in the Rocky Mountains for over fifty years. Forty of those years were spent in Fremont County Colorado raising her nine children and being active in the community. Sherry is an author, writer, artist, and yoga teacher. She has authored four books on Penrose History and edited one other Penrose history book:

Skye has been a middle school librarian, curator of the Penrose History Exhibit, substitute teacher, and museum curator. She served on the Fremont County Heritage Board, the Florence Pioneer Museum Board and was a member of the Fremont County Historical Society. She’s also edited and published the memoirs of five women and has written numerous newspaper columns, a local history blog, and produced over a dozen educational programs on Fremont County, Colorado, Local History.
Skye loves to delve into the lives of marginalized women in history, teasing out their stories and bringing them to light. Ladies of the evening, female felons and old cemeteries particularly intrigue her. She believes we each need a connection to the past to bring balance and peace into our lives. Writing about the past is her small contribution to making her corner of the world a better place.
She also writes poetry, prose, short stories, flash fiction, and has numerous book ideas. Writing historical fiction and ageless romance are in Sherry’s future.
Skye holds two Associate Degrees from Pueblo Community College, Fremont Campus, in Library Science and Fine Arts (History) and is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance and a Certified YIN yoga teacher.
