About Lynn Sherwood

Lynn Sherwood is an influencer, mom, grandma, wife, neighbor, businesswoman, daughter, entrepreneur, author and friend.

Lynn Sherwood Founder or Oddly Grateful

Lynn Sherwood-Humphries is passionate about people.  She is a former ER and medical-surgical nurse and end-of-life caregiver to family members and private clients.  Lynn describes herself as a serial-entrepreneur, with her heart in the service industry.

Through several entrepreneurial endeavors, she’s learned a lot through her successes, and even more through her failures!

In each venture, from owning UPS Store franchises, to a retail gift business, to beginning a private duty nursing department in a hospital, a commodities day trading stint, and leading the children, youth and family ministry through her church, she yearns to reach people and make new friends.

After a 20+ year fear of guns, Lynn Sherwood discerned just nine years ago that it wasn’t the gun she was afraid of.  It was the bad guy behind the gun.  Empowered as she worked through her fears, she jumped in to learn everything she could about firearms, personal defense, and competitive shooting, so she could effectively share her passion with shooters from around the world.  Lynn now especially enjoys working with children, youth, families and corporate groups to share her passion for the shooting sports, and the mental and physical fundamentals of personal defense, in a safe, educational and FUN manner.

My Croak FileLynn has a background in business ownership and management and in event coordination.  With global vision, and as a hands-on shooting instructor, she’s helped take Jackson Hole Shooting Experience to the next level of Luxury Entertainment Shooting Experiences; she is also extremely detail oriented, rather OCD about dotting ‘i’s and crossing ‘t’s and managing systems and details with excellence, in every business she touches.

In 2018 She launched MY CROAK FILE and in 2020 made it available for all, learn more HERE.

Lynn is grieving the loss of her 25 year old daughter, Lauren, who succumbed to the insidious disease of small cell lung cancer in 2018, just 5 months after an incidental diagnosis.  In her quest to find meaning in life and suffering, her healing largely comes in the form of helping others.  Through support groups, sharing with other grieving families, educating people about lung cancer, grief and end-of-life care, sharing her many years of experiences as a nurse, end-of-life caregiver, and shooting sports coach, some days she ‘crashes’ and doesn’t even want to get out of bed with the emotional pain, and most minutes she’s ready at ’em to help YOU get through your struggles, too.

Here’s to taking this journey together, friends ~ I’m Oddly Grateful to be here.
