The 24-year-old was committed for further examination and remanded in custody. He is due to appear again over the matter in the next eight days.
Sherry, 58, was found seriously injured at Glenbervie Road at about 5.30pm on Sunday evening.
It’s understood she was pronounced dead at the scene after being stabbed multiple times.
A 26-year-old man was also found injured by emergency services. He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where he remains in a stable condition.
They are believed to be mother and son.
The statement said: “She was a kind and caring mum with a soft heart who adored everyone she met. She was very family-oriented and devoted to her job.
“She was loyal and a wonderful grandmother and will be sorely missed.”
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of the police’s major investigation team, said: “This would appear to have been an isolated incident and there was no wider threat to the local community.”
