Alpa Sharad

Alpa (Ally) Sharad was proud to have been born in New Jersey on April 14, 1970. She passed away peacefully at her home in Woodinville, WA on April 3, 2023. Her mother, Chitra Dholakia, predeceased her (2016). She is survived by her father, Dick Sharad who resides in Florida.

She achieved scholastic success and was awarded a bachelor’s degree American University in Washington DC in 1993. She worked for several small companies in a variety of roles including bookkeeper, computer analyst, tester before working for a company that was acquired by Microsoft. That acquisition enabled her to move from Virginia to Washington state. She proudly worked with Microsoft in a variety of roles and on several teams. She achieved not only professional success but many awards, including the Star Award, for outstanding leadership and teamwork. Not long after leaving Microsoft in 2014, her attention focused on health care. She became a certified Medical Assistant and through her passion to help and aide people became part of the Evergreen Health team. Throughout her career she worked with several teams that made a huge difference with either technology or health care and her passion for both areas of expertise are still reflected and talked about with those that she worked with over the years.

She is the youngest sibling of three sisters. Sister, Neha Sharad (Florida), nephew Paresh Sharad (Florida) and niece Isha Sharad (Florida).  Sister, Neti Malhotra (Virginia), brother-in-law Alok Malhotra (Virginia), niece Aaria Malhotra (Virginia), niece Mayna Malhotra (Virginia), niece Nitika Malhotra (Virginia).

Her passing has left a heart shaped hole for her family, extended family members, friends, teammates, mentees, and colleagues.

Her family and friends are grateful to the medical professionals with Evergreen, Bel Red Internal Medicine, and Evergreen Hospice for providing her with excellent care. Alpa (Ally) slipped away peacefully and painlessly in her home, after having spent several days visited by close family and friends. Her commitment to giving back continued after her death through the donation of her corneas which turns out went to an anonymous person in the Houston/Texas area.

Alpa (Ally) is profoundly missed.

In lieu of flowers a donation on her behalf to the would be greatly appreciated.
