Sheri Lynn (Strait) Dunagan
October 25, 2015
Sheri Lynn (Strait) Dunagan, 66, was born December 10, 1948 in Des Moines, Iowa, the daughter of Willson and Agnes (Dezonno) Strait. She was adored by so many family and friends alike. She had a beautiful smile that radiated from her heart; she was as lovely inside as she was out.
Sheri was a proud graduate of East High School. She retired from Alliance Realty where she worked in the accounts receivable department for 15 years. She loved her family above all else. She enjoyed spending time with her son and her grandchildren, and her yellow lab, Max had a special place in her heart. Sheri loved the Iowa State Fair and worked at the fair every summer for over 50 years. She enjoyed going out to dinner with her family and always appreciated a good meal and a good martini.
Sheri passed peacefully from this life on Sunday, October 25, 2015, surrounded by her loving family and friends.
There will be a celebration of Sheri’s life from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., Monday, November 2, 2015 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines.
Sheri is survived by her son, Michael (Karla) Dunagan; grandchildren, Michael W. Jr. and Genevieve Elaine; brothers, Woody Strait and Michael (Cathy) Strait; nieces, Nicole Strait, Lisa (Zack) Boisselle, Traci Strait, and Mikki Jo (Steve) Gibson; and her great-nieces and nephew, Samantha, Sophia, and Joey.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Willson “Skinny” and Agnes Strait.

I never could just say Sheri / it was SheriLynn. We were 4 months apart in age and our Mom's kept us close when we were little. Even dressing us alike. Lol. She was a beautiful addition to the Strait family.. She left her mark on many people. You "boys carry on ". Love & Huugs

Sheri was my best friend for 45 years & even after I moved to CA, we still talked on the phone, regularly. Heaven has to be brighter with her there, & my world will forever be less bright without her here. I will always have wonderful memories & miss her.

The only birthday party of a school mate I went to was Sheri's. It was so lovely and her Mom was so welcoming. In grade 3 Sheri, Judy Danks and I sang a trio "Sugar in the Morning"
We were so good our teacher had us sing in front of the school. It was fun. She was a lovely person. My Condolences to her family.

Sheri was a special friend to so many. She loved her East side heritage, and her smile would radiate a love of people. I'll never forget the dances we shared at evening's end during the many Fairs we worked at the Depot. May God bless Sheri and comfort the many who loved her.
