Born on November 12, 1966, in Marietta, Ohio, Cheryl carried with her a lifelong appreciation for home, family, and the simple joys that made life meaningful.
Cheryl was known for her gentle nature and thoughtful spirit. She found happiness in activities that allowed her to slow down and focus, especially puzzles and cross-stitching. These hobbies reflected her personality patient, detail-oriented, and calm.
Many of her finished cross-stitch pieces were lovingly gifted or proudly displayed, each one a reminder of the time and care she invested in the things she loved.
Working on a puzzle or stitching quietly brought her peace and was often a way she relaxed while still being surrounded by family.
Animals held a special place in Cheryl’s heart, and her cherished pets were truly part of her family.

She was a steady presence offering encouragement, guidance, and unconditional love through every stage of their lives. Her home was a place of warmth and familiarity, shaped by her constant efforts to create comfort and stability.
Cheryl was also a proud grandmother to five grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense joy. She treasured time spent with them, whether through quiet moments, shared laughter, or simply being together. Her grandchildren will remember her as a gentle, loving figure whose presence made them feel safe and valued.
