PALMDALE – Palmdale city officials were saddened to learn that a former city councilmember, Dr. Earl Sherburn, passed away on Dec. 30, 2017, in Las Vegas, NV.

Dr. Sherburn grew up in Ohio, was a graduate of the University of Michigan, and received his doctorate from USC. He was the former band director at Palmdale High School and was first elected into office as a Palmdale City Councilmember on March 7, 1978, serving a four year term.  He was again re-elected on April 13, 1982, and served that term until 1986. He later served as Community Arts Director for the City of Los Angeles.

Dr. Sherburn is survived by sisters, Marilyn Merkle in Ohio and Jan Sherburn in Carlsbad, CA, and several nieces and nephews.
