Long time Wrangell resident Jerald “Jerry” Leroy
Sarff passed peacefully from this mortal life on
December
21, 2014, at home surrounded by his loving
family.
Jerry was born November 26, 1952 in Spokane,
Washington to Doyle and Delores Dougherty Sarff.
At the age of 18 his family moved to Wrangell,
Alaska where he finished his senior year of high
school, graduating from Wrangell High in 1971.
Right out of high school Jerry started to work
at Wrangell Lumber where he worked until the
late 90’s. He did a little bit of everything,
working his way up to millwright. He also welded
and performed jobs for folks around town.
In 1975 he met his loving wife Amy Jo Tomlinson
and on November 7 of that year they would marry.
In March of 1976 the couple welcomed their first
daughter Deann Marie. November 26, 1984, Jerry’s
birthday, they welcomed their second daughter
Jaclyn Ann. In 2004 Jerry and Amy moved to
Bonners Ferry, Idaho, where Jerry started to
work as a millwright for Idaho Forest Group.
Jerry loved to hunt and fish and later in life
Jerry took up the hobby of making knives, with
hopes it would turn into a small business.
Jerry is survived by his parents Doyle and
Delores Sarff of Wrangell, wife Amy of Bonners
Ferry, daughters Deann (Kenneth) Torsak of
Provo, Utah, and Jaclyn (Spencer) Campbell of
Moyie Springs, grandchildren Jathan, Brayten,
Handen, Judy, Charles, Hunter, and Joseph as
well as numerous cousins scattered across the
country.
Family and friends are invited to sign Jerry’s

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of
Bonners Ferry Funeral Home. |
