Cathedral Canyon Association 1

Many in our community knew Sherry (Sher) Landrum,who passed away suddenly on December 7, 2025, at the age of 76, at her home in Snohomish, Washington—just two days before she was scheduled to return to Cathedral City for the winter. Sher was deeply involved in our HOA and was passionate about maintaining our community to the highest standards. A retired CPA, she purchased her property here in 2013 and faithfully served on the HOA Board of Directors as Treasurer for more than ten years. As a snowbird, Sher spent 5-6 months each winter/ spring in the desert and truly embraced community life. 

She was a familiar presence at many clubhouse events, including bingo and music nights. Sher is survived by her 3 children, Stacy, Dustin, and Stony; 10 grandchildren; and 1 great-grandchild. Her beloved dog, Toby, has been re-homed with a caring family in the Seattle area. Sher will be laid to rest this summer in Wyoming alongside her parents. She will be well missed by her friends and neighbors.

The Board is pleased  to welcome Namara Mercer as our property manager. She is the Regional Association Manager for the Coachella Valley. We look forward to continuing our work with Namara and benefiting from her extensive expertise in property management. She is a seasoned professional with a proven track record of creating strong partnerships, driving organizational growth, and building high- performing teams that deliver outstanding results. Welcome Namara!
