Alyce Lillian (Larson) Sherrard

May 13, 1931 – June 28, 2015

Alyce Lillian Larson Sherrard was born on May 13, 1931 and passed on to see her Lord on June 28, 2015. She was preceded in death by her father, Carl Larson, mother, Lillian Norman Larson and sister, Anne Mae Eernissee. She is survived by her husband, Jean; her daughters Beth and Linnea; her son, Andrew; her daughter-in-law, Michele; and her 5 grandchildren.

Alyce loved to host family, old friends and make new ones at her long time home on Sandyhook Road on Agate Pass. She was a gentle, kind hardworking woman who grew up during the Depression on Queen Anne with her parents and older sister. She graduated from Queen Anne High School in 1949. Alyce went on to the University of Washington where she attended nursing school and worked at Swedish Hospital. She married Jean in 1957 and started a family in 1963 and moved to Sandyhook to be closer to her parents.

She founded Reliable Storage with Jean in 1981. She helped it grow over the past 34 years to 7 sites across Kitsap County. She loved to read, write letters and live out her strong Christian faith by helping anyone who needed it and staunchly supporting Youth For Christ locally and nationally. She loved taking the time to strike up a conversation and learn something new about them.

We will celebrate her life at a Memorial Service at 11 a.m. on July 12th at Kiana Lodge. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local library or YFC chapter.
