Anasazi's beloved Sherrel Olsen passed away yesterday. The matriarch of Anasazi's co-founding Olsen family, Sherrel was the devoted and loyal companion to Larry Dean Olsen and the mother and grandmother to some of our finest trail folk. Prior to Anasazi, she spent countless nights on the trail with her children, as Larry and co-founder Ezekiel experimented with their ideas. In Anasazi's early years, Sherrel personally worked with each parent—helping them prepare to offer their child a new beginning. She was also responsible for introducing Anasazi to Terry Warner’s work. Sherrel's heart and home were always open, at any hour of the day or night, to families or staff coming off the trail. For all of us who have walked, our lives have been forever changed by her sacrifices and love. We can only imagine the beautiful reunion she is enjoying with Larry. We sure luv ya, Sherrel Olsen!

We are never truly alone. No matter how far or which direction we travel, we walk with others in our hearts.

Anasazi's Scholarship Gala is always a great reminder of this truth. Please join us on Friday, November 7, as we gather again to honor accomplished Anasazi alumni and philanthropist/ research advocate Nathan Olsen, who is currently starring in ALONE on the HISTORY Channel.

Most importantly, the entertainment-filled gala and its silent auction help to offset program costs for financially challenged families with a child or loved one in crisis.

VISIT ANASAZI.ORG/2025GALA/ to register, nominate an alumni honoree, or donate an auction item in support of Anasazi's nonprofit mission -- to provide its services regardless of a family's ability to pay.
