Jerry Sellars Obituary (2023)

Jerry Lavita Sellars was born in Eunice New Mexico on the 2nd of July 1952 and passed away in Yakima WA Dec 8th, 2023, after a fairly long battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully in the presence of a loving friend. She died knowing several of her loving family members were in route to be with her. She died knowing her life partner, Dale Wyatt, loved her deeply. She died in peace. She possessed a deep faith in the Love and Grace of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jerry was a free spirit and a gentle loving soul. She aspired to be a social worker and completed some college course work. But she was a free-spirit and a fearless, rugged adventurer who was a truly hard-worker who took jobs from lumber jacking to apple packing. Still, she took an interest in people wherever she went, and she took care of people wherever she went. She gave to others as naturally as she breathed, ate, and slept. You could say was a wandering social worker of sorts . She was preceded in death by her mom and dad Harold Sellars and Evelyn Thrash McCarter and her brothers Jim and Jeffery. She is survived by her life partner, Dale Wyatt and daughter Cherisa Standridge; sisters Helen Robinson and Melissa Sellars Van; nieces Olivia Sullivan, Renelle Knox, and Angela Van; plus, great nieces and nephews Brennan, Joshua, Boyce, Paisley, Levi, Heavenly, Leilani, and Aiyanah. She is laid to rest Dec. 13, 2023, at West Hills Memorial Park in Yakima by joyful friends and family who celebrate her life with open, grateful hearts. We know she hated to go, but she needed the rest. A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 1:00 pm at West Hills Memorial Park (11800 Douglas Rd, Yakima, WA).
