Sherri Pavek Obituary
Sherri J. Pavek, age 65, of Faribault, MN, passed away July 2, 2023, at her residence following an extended illness surrounded by her family.
Sherri Jean was born on May 19, 1958, in Faribault, MN, to Gary Sr. and Maxine (Ozmun) Benton.

Sherri enjoyed being in her home, baking, canning, crocheting, scrapbooking, garage sales, and watching monkey videos. She always treasured the gifts people gave her and created collections from them. She took pride in spoiling their dogs, Goldie, Duke, Babes, Brea, and Daisy. Sherri was caring, loving, full of humor, and could make anyone laugh.
