Sherman Williams Obituary
In Loving Memory
Celebrating a Life Well Lived
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sherman L. Williams, who left us peacefully on September 19, 2025 at the age of 85. Surrounded by family, Sherman departed this world leaving his loved ones with beautiful memories of the humble life he led.
Born on January 4, 1940, Sherman was devoted to his family, an avid hunter and fisherman, and proud American. He served in the Army National Guard from October 1956 - February 1964. After marriages to Connie & Loretta in his younger years, he married Deloris Williams on January 26, 1980 until her passing in 2019. He worked most his life as a logger and had stories galore of those "glory" days. After retiring from logging, he enjoyed keeping golf courses mowed to perfection. He always took pride in doing any job to the best of his abilities.
He is survived by his children; Sheri Kern and Dan, Rodney Williams, Terry Williams and Karen, Ray Williams, Jeff Bemrose and Kim, and Janelle Taberna; sister, Hazel Bateman; 17 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and their families. Sherman was preceded in death by the love of his life, Dee Williams; his parents, Raymond and Alta Williams; brothers Robert and Howard Williams; sister Lois Brenchley; stepson, Jerry Bemrose; and too many other loved ones and friends. He felt the loss of all those that went before him with his big heart and sensitive spirit.
A celebration of Sherman's life will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at noon at NorthStar Baptist Church, 8145 N. Ramsey Road in Hayden, ID. The spreading of his ashes will be May 2, 2026 in his beloved Bitterroot Valley in Montana. A reception will follow both services and all are welcome to attend.
We will forever cherish the moments we shared, and the love Sherman brought into our lives, just as his giggle will always be engrained in our hearts and minds. Though he is gone, his spirit will live on in our hearts always.
