Cheryl was an avid reader, music lover, dancer and photographer. She had a passion for traveling and served in the US Air Force. Cheryl loved her cat Kitten and her three dogs Isaac, Gus, and Callie dearly. She loved to watch the birds and specifically loved hummingbirds. She enjoyed all the seasons but loved to watch the snow out her bay window. She loved the holidays, because it came with her favorite thing, family. She was an amazing mother and grandmother who was always there when you needed her. She was a “Mom” to many, not just her children. She loved to give back to her community. Particularly in her 50’s she found a love for Muay Thai. This was one of her favorite communities to be a part of. Whenever someone needed a hand, Cheryl was there to lend hers. Cheryl is and will be deeply missed by so many.
