Former Miss World Contestant Sherika De Armas Loses Battle With Cancer: Passes Away At 26

Sherika De Armas, former Miss World Contestant in 2015 from Uruguay, passes away at 26 after losing a battle against cancer. She had been suffering from cervical cancer for the last two years. Friends and Family paid homage to the former Miss Uruguay on social media.

Mayk De Armas, Sherika De Armas’s brother, wrote on social media, “Fly high, little sister. Always and forever.”

Carla Romero, reigning Miss Uruguay, also paid tribute to Sherika De Armas on social media, “Too evolved for this world. One of the most beautiful women I have ever met in my life.”

Anto Ciavaglia, a close friend of Sherika De Armas, mourned her death, saying, “I remember you with that beautiful glow.”

De Armas did not win the Miss Universe competition in 2015 held in Sanaya, China. However, she is one of the very few of the 18- year-olds who took part in the Miss Universe competition in 2015.

At that time, she received compliments like “beautiful face, towering height, and charismatic personality” and “one of the young promising talents of Uruguay.”

Appearing in an interview at that time, She mentioned, “I always wanted to be a model, whether a beauty model, an advertising model or a catwalk model.”

She also mentioned, “I like everything related to fashion, and I think that within a beauty pageant, any girl’s dream is to have the opportunity to participate in Miss Universe. I am very happy to be able to live this experience full of challenges.”

Sherika De Armas used to sell hair care, makeup, skincare, and personal products when she was not on the runway. She was also committed to the childhood cancer organization Pérez Scremini Foundation.
