It is highly doubtful that she would be alive as a human after 6 years. If she was alive, she would be under much torment and distress trying to find Tina. This is the issue I'm having, but let me see where you take it.
Note:
Sheri could have been have been shot, or some other attempt on her life could have been made, and would have been believed to have died by those who attacked her and her family. That is exactly what happened. She was perceived dead by those who attacked her and her family.
The $64,000 question is, what happened when, by all accounts, she is dead? A follow up question would be was she unconscious for a while and, if she was, how long?
Anyhow, you're right. Sheri would be looking for Tina but be unable to find her.
The underground elements who deal with this are not so sloppy to let a body lie around where it can be found. I try not to get graphic with the purges or murders, but one preferred method, of killing a group is to put them into an old cargo container with their hands and feet bound and set the container on fire. And the description of what the Slavers did to Ruth and Joanna’s family farm, with people hung by their necks and burned while they swung on the end of a rope, well, that was being nice. The only time they would leave a supposed dead body is if they had to leave the area immediately, either by order or somebody coming with help to fight them off. The Grandfather was found dying by Hondo but he was in no condition to be taken to a hospital. He probably was unconscious when he was shot up.
When the boys’ parents were killed, only the van was checked and not the trailer. That was sloppiness on their part. If they would have searched the trailer, they would have found the boys alive and would have taken them. It is like in the Anime “Nuku Nuku” – All cultural Cat Girl” OVA, first 4:39 minutes of Episode 1, The Scientist and his son were able to get away because somebody did a poor job of checking their handiwork:

For Sheri to remain alive would create an ugly scene of how and why she got there. A dead body would get cold and stiff in less than an hour, a living body remains warm. If they had to pick her up and tossed her away, somebody would have realized that she was still alive, and dealt with accordingly. For somebody to find her alive and nurse her back to health, though a possibility, it would be liekly impossible.
Reason: For Tina to be turned into a wessen and Sheri to be alive, they both would have been sent to a Lab Town to be converted as wessens. If Sheri had to be killed in Lab Town, she would have been dissected and put into storage jars until such parts are needed. Lab Town does not waste bodies.
Quote from Jeanette on Jun 9th, 2017, 5:15pm:
Moro is on her mobile device. "This area is clear. Teleport Sheri to my location."
Sheri, now forty-one, is wearing a simple white dress with orange trim and a pair of sandals. She and two young Haibane women are walking down a dirt road.
The youngest Haibane female is carrying a pan, like a cake pan. "You're worrying to much."
Sheri is looking forward as she speaks. "But I came into her room without knocking or asking." Without warning she is suddenly in camp. "Maybe she was offended." Sheri places her arms forward as if to block something. She positions herself as if to brace for impact. She relaxes her arms and is straight again. "What is this? What's happening?"
Wilma recognizes Sheri. "Sheri? It is you!"
"Jason? Wilma? Is that really you?" Sheri asks. "Have any of you seen my Tina?"
Jason really doesn't look at Sheri. Instead, he only sees the black feathers and lets Moro have it. "Are you Spirits that sick?" Jason slaps Moro across the face. "You think this is funny? That is not Sheri. That is a black-feathered curse!" Jason pulls out his gun but it falls apart in his hand. The pieces fall to the ground.

The members within the group are, in short and lack for a better word, mutant haters. They will tolerate Wessens but not mutants. This is because of Jason’s (and some of the others) dealings with mutants that got them into trouble in the past. Sheri being a Haibane would have been dealt with a bullet to the head a long time ago. Sheri never had wings as she is a human and not a mutant, so her having wings now is an impossibility. At this point, Wilma would have drawn her gun out too, and shot this person where she stood. No questions asked.
Whatever ploy you are developing as a writer, this is a rather sick one. You are making Haibanes come out of everywhere when their number would be actually quite low and rare, even you stated that that Haibanes are rare to begin with. And people are born as mutants, not created as one. Wessens are not mutants, but individuals who had their DNA altered. In that there is a difference. As discussed in Marvel Comics back in the 1970s and 1980s, “There are mutants and there are mutates. Mutants are born, mutates are created.” (XMen – God Love, Man Kills and XMen – Days of Future Past I & 2). Thus Wessens are not Mutants, they are mutates. And except for the Mooks in the highways, mutants are not allowed to breed. Wessens outnumber Mutants 2 or 3 to 1. Wessens are more accepted as individuals than a mutant, and they would be doing jobs in various positions. Mutants do not have that chance unless it is within their family business and even then it is doubtful because no family wants the public to know that there is a mutant in the family. That’s like saying, “We got weak and inferior genes, please mate with us.”
Let’s see where this goes but Sheri should have been left alone dead. She was never a mutant and that is where is should have been left at.
