Sherri Michelle Burks, 21, was born November 16, 1995 in Landstuhl, Germany to Debbie Dalvit and the late Pat Burks. She passed away July 18, 2017.  

Sherri loved to sing.  She wrote her first song “Best of Today” at age 14 and continued writing songs and poetry. She played guitar and was the inspiration for the band LoveSkrub.  The band often performed at local restaurants, coffee shops, and also played at several large music festivals. 

She graduated from Rossview High School in 2014 and was studying marine biology at APSU. Sherri grew up in a wonderful large family, full of love and life.  She is survived by her sister Heather Burks and four brothers, Michael, Thomas, David and Daniel Burks.  

She had two beloved cats, Taco and Toulouse. Her love for animals began at a very early age.  She used to spend her summers in Colorado with her grandparents, Bud and Marion Dalvit, feeding treats to horses and cows, and playing with kittens and dogs. Sherri will be greeted in Heaven by her Dad, Grampa, and Uncle Al.

Visitation will be Sunday July 23, at 1:30 PM at Christ Lutheran Church followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 2:30 PM.
