Cheryl Brown Obituary

Brown, Cheryl Rebecca

Cheryl Rebecca Brown, 66, of Springfield, was called back to the Lord on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at Springfield Regional Medical Center. She was born on December 10, 1958, in Columbus, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles (Bill) and Hattie K. Cooper. Cheryl's life was centered around her relationship with Jesus Christ, a bond that shaped every aspect of her being. She was a dedicated member of Bethesda Apostolic Church, where she poured her heart into service and fellowship. Her faith was not just a part of her life; it was the foundation upon which she built everything. For over 30 years, Cheryl was a nurturing and loving childcare provider, offering care, wisdom, and guidance to countless children. She touched the lives of many families, always ensuring that every child felt loved. Cheryl's heart for others extended far beyond her work, as she was known for her boundless generosity. She gave freely to those in need, always putting others before herself. Cheryl was the heartbeat of her family. Alongside her beloved husband, she dedicated her life to creating opportunities for their children and extended family, ensuring they were always supported, encouraged, and surrounded by love. Family was her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Whether through shared meals, holidays, or simple everyday moments, Cheryl's love was the thread that held the family together. Cheryl leaves to cherish her loving memory, her children: Robert Brown Jr. (Latosha) and Shirika Brown; grandchildren, Talia Brown, TyRique Brown, and Brooke Brown; and siblings, Sheila A. Upshaw, Charles Cooper (Rosie), Gary Cooper, Penny Beasley (Anthony), Duane Cooper (Teresa), Lisa K. Cooper, James Cooper (Valerie), Shanda Foster (Daryl), and Mark Howard as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She has reunited in eternal rest with her late husband, Robert Brown Sr.; brother, Kent Cooper and brother-in-law, Raymond Upshaw. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 11 a.m. at the Church of Jesus, 623 S. Center St., Springfield, with Bishop Gregory Irvin Sr. officiating. A visitation will be held one hour prior to the service, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., at the church. Burial will follow at Ferncliff Cemetery. Online expressions of sympathy may be made at www.littletonandrue.com. Cheryl was a woman of deep faith and unwavering love. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

There are some people who come into your life and change it forever-and my Aunt Boo was one of them. She didn´t just raise me-she loved me into the person I am today. She taught me how to love, how to take care of myself, how to show kindness to others, and most importantly, how to love the Lord Jesus with all my heart.

Aunt Boo was the kind of person who made you feel safe and cherished. She stepped in and filled in the gaps with so much grace and love, always making sure I felt supported and seen. She constantly reminded me how much she loved me, and that kind of love leaves a lasting imprint on your soul.

She had the sweetest, silliest spirit. I can still hear her voice on those early mornings, hollering, "If you ain´t ready, I´m out!" as we got ready to hit the yard sales. Those simple mornings together are some of my most cherished memories-full of laughter, love, and togetherness.

I am strong because of her. The way I love others, the grace and care I try to show-it all stems from what she poured into me. She was a reflection of unconditional love, and her legacy lives on in me and everyone blessed to have known her.

I will miss her deeply, but I hold her close in every act of love, every kind word, and every moment I remember who she helped me become. Thank you, Aunt Boo, for everything. I love you always.

To her children, Little Robbie and Sharika-thank you for sharing her with me and with so many others. The love, laughter, and care she gave so freely were a blessing to everyone who knew her. I know how deeply she loved you, and I´m forever grateful that I got to be a part of her world. Please know that my heart is with you, and you remain in my prayers during this difficult time.
