WILSON,
Sharyl Lee (Maxfield)

Sharyl passed away peacefully at her home in Spokane, WA on May 14, 2016.
She was born June 27, 1945 in Spokane, WA to Edgar and Geraldine Maxfield.

Sharyl graduated from Central Valley in ‘63 and spent most of her life in Spokane.

After high school, she pursued a career as a hairdresser and stylist, a passion that would span her life.
Sharyl most enjoyed the company of her adorable dogs, thrift shopping, sleep-overs with her granddaughter Katelyn, and anything leopard print.

Most of all, she loved visiting with family and friends.

Sharyl’s own mother always held a special place in her heart, as she will now in ours.
Sharyl is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Todd and Deanne Wilson, her beloved grandchildren: Jack, Cameron and Katelyn Wilson, her sister and brother-in-law Patricia and Victor Alvarez and nephews Chris and Jeff Alvarez.

A Life Celebration will be held at her son’s home at 3806 E. 51st Ave., Spokane, WA on May 25th from 3-6pm.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions would be welcome at Hospice of Spokane or the Spokane Humane Society.
