Cheryl was a strong and independent woman that enjoyed life to its fullest. She worked for GAP Inc. for several years in Kentucky and was an active member at North Side Baptist Church. Cheryl was fiercely devoted to her faith and family. In her spare time, walking her faithful canine companions, spending time with her family during BBQ cookouts, and sharing a good laugh with her friends.
Cheryl was always fun to be around and enjoyed a good joke, even if it was at her own expense. She loved all animals, especially her son’s Great Dane, “Groot”, and her lovable miniature pony, “Mo Man.” Cheryl loved to cook and shared her love of cooking with her granddaughter, Erin, as well as her love of shopping. She will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends.
