Sherdel T. Everly, 83, of Garards Fort, (Headlee Heights), Pa., passed away quietly Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013, at his home with his loving family at his side.  Born Sept. 8, 1929 in Garards Fort, he was a son of the late Guy E. and Lillian (Titus) Everly.

A 1947 graduate of Mapletown High School, Sherdel served in the U.S Army during the Korean Conflict. He also graduated from Waynesburg College with his bachelor of science degree, and from West Virginia University with his master’s degree in education, and continued there to pursue his doctorate.

For over 33 years, Sherdel taught a countless number of students in history and social studies at Mapletown High School in the Southeastern Greene School District.

He was an active outdoorsman and dedicated member of the Greensboro Baptist Church, where he served as deacon, trustee, and treasurer for more than 30 years.

He also appreciated the company of his close and longtime friend, Jerry Michaels of Dilliner, Pa. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews he greatly enjoyed. His family was all the world to him, and he will be dearly missed.

Honoring his wishes, there will be no services. Cremation arrangements are in the care of the RICHARD R. HEROD FUNERAL HOME, POINT MARION.
