Amy Sherrill is the former wife of basketball Hall of Famer Tim Duncan and a former executive vice president of the Tim Duncan Foundation. They married in July 2001, had two children together and divorced in August 2013.
Contemporary news reports also identify her as Amy Duncan, the name used during their marriage. Those references concern the same woman whom Stanford University identifies as Amy Sherrill in its official athletics profile of their daughter, Sidney Duncan.
What connects her to Wake Forest?
Sherrill was a cheerleader at Wake Forest University. Stanford’s biography of Sidney Duncan confirms that connection and names both of Sidney’s parents.
Tim Duncan played basketball at Wake Forest from 1993 to 1997 before the San Antonio Spurs selected him first overall in the NBA draft. Contemporary reporting described Amy as his college sweetheart, placing their relationship before the marriage and within the university chapter of their lives.
The psychology degree mentioned in Wake Forest’s historical basketball media guide belongs to Tim Duncan, not Sherrill; it should not be attributed to her.
What was her role in the Tim Duncan Foundation?
According to Wake Forest’s 2003–04 men’s basketball media guide, Tim and Amy created the Tim Duncan Foundation in November 2001, a few months after marrying. The guide identifies Amy as its executive vice president.
The foundation’s stated areas of work were health awareness and research, education, and youth sports and recreation. Its geographic focus included San Antonio, Winston-Salem and the U.S. Virgin Islands. That description places Sherrill’s documented charitable role within an organisation serving several communities rather than solely supporting basketball activities.
Her involvement also appears in contemporary reporting from St. Croix. In a July 2003 Associated Press story, Amy explained that the foundation had assisted orphanages, foster homes and a residential complex for adults with disabilities. The report covered Duncan’s visit to conduct basketball clinics and promote the foundation.
Together, the university publication and her comments establish both a formal leadership title and her public discussion of the foundation’s community support. They describe her work during the early years of the marriage; they do not establish a present-day position.
When did the marriage end?
Sherrill and Duncan were married for approximately 12 years. By the time their divorce was reported in 2013, they had two children together.
Amy filed for divorce in March 2013, and Tim subsequently filed a counterpetition. KSAT’s report published on August 21, 2013 said the divorce had been granted the previous afternoon, August 20. Citing the San Antonio Express-News, it reported that the proceeding took place at Duncan’s attorney’s office with the couple, their lawyers and the judge present.
The same report said that detailed financial and custody terms were not immediately released. It therefore does not provide a basis for assigning Sherrill a specific divorce settlement or calculating her personal wealth.
What is known about her life after the divorce?
Sherrill’s current occupation and relationship status are not reliably documented. Her foundation title belongs to the historical account above and should not be read as a statement about her work today.
A later public connection is recorded through her daughter: Stanford’s official volleyball profile identifies Sidney’s mother as Amy Sherrill. It provides a clear family reference without establishing broader details about Sherrill’s present personal or professional life.
