Sheril Kay West

Oct. 17, 2018

Sheril Kay West passed away peacefully at home Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018, with her husband and daughters by her side. She was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in the spring of 2018. Being a private person, it was her wish to spend her final weeks in the company of her immediate family.

Born Aug. 19, 1941, to Vernon and Dorothy Wearmouth, she was the eldest daughter of four children. Her education began in a one-room schoolhouse and continued until she graduated from Newton High School, with the Class of 1959.

Sheril was blessed with three children, Alisa (Brian) Marshall, Lori (Eric) Waller and Randy (Robin) Repp. She has five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

She found the love of her life when she met Dave West. They were united in marriage Nov. 17, 2007. Together they shared a joy of the rural lifestyle, and a special dapple dachshund named Laci K.

Some of Sheril’s vocations included judging poultry at county fairs, garden clubs, the Moravia Fall Festival Committee, the Red Hat Ladies and the Marshalltown Kennel Club.

Sheril’s final resting place is Hillcrest Cemetery in Moravia. She was interred in a small private ceremony with family. Memorials have been established to either the Jasper County Animal Rescue League or the Moravia Historical Society and may be mailed to Lange Funeral Home, 1900 S. 18th St., Centerville, Iowa 52544.
