Cuz Cheryl. we were tied together from the hip during our teenage years. You were always level headed and on top of things and I will miss your smile and kind spirit. My last visit on your Birthday I was so hopeful you would get better and come home but God plan was different. I 'm grateful our visits always ended with saying we loved each just as we did our last, so you take your rest now, I love you cuz ❤

On October 25, Cheryl Spence departed from this earth and returned home to rest. She spent a lifetime of service fostering a greater good and a deeper empathy as a clinical social worker and therapist. We will miss her fierce, kind spirit; she was without peer or parallel.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William Henry Spence and Imogene Blackwell Spence.
We who remain cherish and honor her memory and her legacy her daughter, Safiya O'Brien (Sean) of Tempe, AZ.; sister, Charlotte Spence of Merrillville; brother, William Spence (Audrena) of Chicago, IL.; beloved nephews: William Spence and Stephen Spence of Chicago, IL., and a host of beloved family and friends will miss her warmth and her light.
