Dessie Kay Kirkbride

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Dessie Sherlock, a loving mother, grandmother, sister and daughter. She passed on Friday December 6, 2024. Dessie was born on March 21, 1958. She lived a life marked by kindness, resilience and deep love for her family. She will be missed beyond measure, yet she will live on in the hearts and memories of those she left behind.

Dessie is survived by her sons, Donny and John Sherlock, her daughters-in-law Rachel Sherlock and Emily Ingersol, her brother Danny Napier and her cherished grandchildren Taylor, Kelsey (husband Riley DuChesne), Donovan, Dylan, Lillie Ingersol, Anna and Liberty and her Great Grandchild Axel. Each one of them held a special place in Dessie’s heart and will continue to honor her legacy in their own unique way.

She was preceded in death by her parents Les and Marge Napier and her brother Darrell Napier.

As we mourn her departure, we also celebrate her life. Those who had the privilege of knowing Dessie will remember her for her unconditional kindness, her zest for life and her unfaltering strength. She cherished every moment spent with family and found joy in the simplest of life’s pleasures. Her laughter was contagious, her heart was generous, and her love was unconditional.

We will remember Dessie for her enduring spirit, her beautiful smile and the love she had for her family. Her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, yet her memory is a treasure we will carry within us forever. As we say goodbye and navigate this world without her physical presence, we find comfort in knowing that she lived on in our hearts and memories.

The family will receive friends on Friday December 13, 2024 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Burcham Tobias Funeral Home, 119 E. Main St., Fairborn, Ohio. A Memorial Service will follow at 12:00, with Pastor Jim Clayton officiating.
