Sheral Ann McKinney, 70, a lifelong resident of Dayton, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 22, 2019, in Winnie-Stowell, surrounded by loving family. She was born on June 16, 1949, in Dayton, Texas to the late Edd C. and Ada Bell Burns Favors. Sheral was a loving wife, mother, memaw, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Sheral worked for several years doing cafeteria work for Dayton ISD. She had also worked in the bakery at Brookshire Brothers in Dayton and concessions at Huffman Horse Center. Sheral volunteered with the Dayton High School Bronco Band for eight years as a band parent.  She was also dedicated in her faith and for many years attended Trinity Baptist Church in Dayton.

Sheral pursued many interests, some of which included reading, working crossword puzzles and shopping. Sheral was an avid fan of Elvis and loved listening to his music. She enjoyed participating in crafts/activities and visiting with other seniors at the local nursing home. However, Sheral’s favorite hobby of all was spending time with her family and grandchildren.
