Cheryl will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dear friend. She brought joy wherever she went with her warm personality, creative spirit, and infectious laughter. Cheryl had a passion for painting, gardening, camping and making floral arrangements; her creativity touched everything she did. She loved fishing trips to the Outer Banks, spending time outdoors, listening to music and friendly games of cornhole with family and friends.
Above all, Cheryl’s life was marked by love; for her family, her friends, and the many small, beautiful moments she cherished every day.
