mommacherry grew up in a small agricultural town in the Midwest, she was the love child of a well-known country singer and small-time Vegas call girl. She spent the better part of her youth fighting off the sons of farmers and educating herself for a better existence. Due to these self taught ideals, mommacherry, became an activist at a young age, saving the whales and anything else that crossed her path.
mommacherry’s plans came to a halt when she found herself with child; considering her own upbringing in a filthy Midwest trailer park she took the only way out she could see. After a quickie marriage, mommacherry found herself in the Northwest doing laundry, assisting the PTA and struggling between the ideals of her youth and those of her oppressive neighbors. While organizing a PTA rummage sale she came across a worn copy of Abbie Hoffman’s “Steal this Book” and a pair of roller-skates. It was enough, mommacherry packed up her daughter and her recipe books and she left the suburbs in search of the revolution.
Not long after, teaching her daughter to skate in a Seattle park, she was approached by a member of Derby Liberation Front. The rest, as they say, is history.
mommacherry retired in 2008 and now skates for the Port City Rollergirls under the same name. She is greatly missed.
