Sheryl was born April 24, 1950 in Fergus Falls, MN to Vernon and Betty (Olson) Brekke. They moved to Fargo in 1951 where she graduated from Fargo South High School in 1968. She went to North Dakota State School of Science, Wahpeton, ND graduating with a degree in nursing. After graduation she pursued her nursing career in Rochester, MN and then at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, HI. After 2 years she moved back to Fargo and also resided in Biloxi, MS and Minot, ND. She then made Fargo her home, to raise her daughter, Alicia, who was born July 16, 1980.

She returned to nursing at St. Luke’s Hospital in 1982 working in the rehab unit. In 1995 she furthered her career by moving to the Meritcare Clinic for Neuroscience, where she continued to work today. Through her years there she had the most wonderful people as coworkers who quickly became her very close friends.

Sheryl loved life, she enjoyed spending time with friends and family. She always brought a great joy to the people around her. She definitely had an eye for style that was all her own! She loved Pink and would wear a blingy pin and jewelry, daily, especially for the holidays. One of her favorite past times was relaxing at her lake cabin on Prairie Lake near Pelican Rapids, MN. She would spend every weekend there in the summer. She loved flamingos and all things Elvis which was definitely shown through her décor at the lake!

Sheryl is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Alicia (Marcella) and Brian Stuvland, along with many aunts and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Kevin, who died at birth as well as aunts and uncles.

Please celebrate her life with us by wearing her favorite color- PINK!
