Debra Sherk Obituary

Debra Lynn Sherk passed away on November 20, 2025, in Birmingham, Alabama. Born on January 28, 1960, Debra brought warmth and joy to those around her throughout her life.

Debra's presence was a source of comfort and connection for many. Known for her open heart and welcoming spirit, she never met a stranger and had a gift for making others feel seen and valued.

Debra had a deep appreciation for music and good food-two passions that brought her happiness and often served as a way to bring people together. Her love for life was evident in the way she embraced each day with kindness and enthusiasm.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her.

Her celebration of life will be held Saturday December 6th at Nevel Chapel Baptist Church from 12 p.m.-4 p.m. We will be wearing purple in her honor.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
