Fluvanna Review Staff
For nearly two decades, the morning commute in Central Virginia has been defined for many by a voice that felt as much like a friend as a radio personality.
But after 34 years in the industry and 18 years at Z95.1, Fluvanna County resident Sherry Taylor has officially signed off.
Taylor’s final episode of “Sherry’s Show” aired Friday, marking the end of an era for the Charlottesville Media Group.
Known for her warmth and the daily “Impossible Trivia” segment, Taylor’s departure leaves a significant void in the local morning routine.
“You know how they always say a lady knows when to leave,” Taylor told Cville Right Now. “I’ve just gotten to the point where I think, ‘You know what, I’ve had a good run at it.’ I’ve enjoyed it. I feel tremendously blessed to be in this industry and to meet other people who are just as weird and wacky as I am.”
Her career began at age 19 while she was a student at PVCC. Over the decades, she became a fixture in the community, not just for her music but for her heart, frequently supporting local charities.
“I want to be as authentic as I can, and I want to be kind to people,” Taylor reflected. “I think just being a mom and talking about things that I thought were hilarious at home helped me find my voice.”
While she is retiring from the morning show to spend more time with her husband, Chuck, and her grandchildren, Taylor isn’t leaving the area. She plans to enjoy the Virginia spring and clear her head before deciding on her next adventure.
