Cheryl Horton-Habit Obituary

HORTON-HABIT, Cheryl

Cheryl grew up in Atlanta and attended Brenau University, where she graduated as a member of the Phi Mu sorority with a triple major in History, Political Science, and English. Following the conclusion of her studies, Cheryl went on to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation before transitioning to a career in dental care. Cheryl was a beloved mother, sister, and daughter and will be deeply missed. She will be remembered as a voracious reader with a love of history, cooking, holiday-themed decorations, and the beach. Cheryl had an immense talent for connecting with others as well as a talent for interior design. Cheryl was preceded in death by her father, Billy F. Horton; husband, Franklin H. Habit II; and pets, Hugo, Biggie, Sam, Samantha, Sheeba, Little, Little Sampsonette, Sly, and Roxie. She is survived by her mother, Rose Horton; sister, Lynda Horton; and two children, Hannah Habit and Franklin Habit III.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Cheryl. She was such a dear friend in high school and I have so many sweet memories of our friendship. She has been on my heart quite often in recent days... little did I know of her passing.
My heart goes out to you Rose, Lynda, Hannah and Franklin. With deepest sympathy, Mary Ellen

Hannah Rose and Franklin so sorry to hear about the passing of Cheryl. For such a quiet person, she could sure get fired up when angered. She did enjoy talking about the two of YOU!
My condolences and prayers for You.
Brenda Eubanks, former co-worker.
