Anadarko, Oklahoma. 55-year-old Dawn Sherrill recently had brain surgery performed after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

Not long after her surgery, Dawn ended up going missing, and now it’s been over a week since her loved ones have seen her or heard from her.

It was July 21st at approximately 7 p.m. that Dawn was last spotted leaving her home in her boyfriend’s pickup truck.

“Please continue to keep my girl, Dawn Sherrill in your prayers,” Dawn’s friend Suzi Parmer-Gwinn wrote in a Facebook post.

“She is one of the hardest working, strong, independent women I know. If she was herself, I wouldn’t be as worried.”

“Unfortunately because of her cancer, she’s confused and in a very fragile mental and physical condition.”

“The people who love her, want and NEED her home safe. She took off Wednesday night at about 7 in her boyfriend’s maroon 07 F150 with a black tailgate.”

“It had a smoker in the back. She has long dark hair, was wearing a gray smock with Anadarko Vet Clinic and Khakis. If you see her, please contact the sheriffs asap.”

Tomorrow, the OKC Search & Rescue Team is organizing a search for Dawn at 9 a.m. tomorrow at the Anadarko First Baptist Church located at 700 W Petree Rd.

“You will be looking for unmarked pull-offs, dead-end roads, bridges over creeks & ravines, broken vegetation, or damaged fencing,” the OKC Search & Rescue Team explained in a Facebook post.

“To be assigned a search grid the vehicle driver will need to present a valid license and proof of insurance.”

“We will accept volunteers all day so if you can’t be there at 9 get there when you can. We are covering as much ground as possible so it’s possible search grids could be as far away as 50 miles from the command post and possibly more if we get enough volunteers.”
