CHERYL EAGAN Obituary
Age 75 of Dayton, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 18, 2020. Cheryl, born October 1, 1944, to Robert and Onnalee (Boswell) Bainter, attended Sinclair Community College and was a member of Church of The Cross United Methodist, Kettering, OH. For many years Cheryl sold fine jewelry for Elder Beerman, where she met the love of her life, Paul, whom many called Tom. She was a caring woman with a servant's heart who had many friends and rarely met a stranger. She enjoyed meeting new people and always had a joke for anyone who would listen. She was involved in several organizations such as SICSA, Essential Tremors Support Group, and the Miami Valley Hospital Stroke Group. Cheryl is preceded in death by her parents and husband Paul Eagan. She is survived by children Robert S. (Janet) Bodey of New York and Elizabeth A. (Col. F.C.) Weaver of Alabama; step-children Paul T. Eagan III of California and David L. Eagan of Tipp City; 11 grandchildren; 2 great-granddaughters; sister Barbara (Steve) Baty; sister-in-law Joan Wanous; and numerous nieces and nephews. An inurnment of Cheryl and Paul will be held at 11am on Saturday, December 5 at Concord United Methodist Church Cemetery, 1123 S. Main St. Englewood, OH. Due to COVID19, family will have a gathering of family and friends later in the Spring or Summer of 2021. Condolences may be shared at

Cheryl, I have missed you dearly. I understood why you went to the nursing home with Tom after his illness. The two of you needed the strength that you each leaned on. After Paul's death I visited the various homes that you were in and sent cards and letters. Then I lost track of you. I called many homes around Dayton, my letters and cards were returned to me. I looked on the internet. Finally this evening (nine months after your passing) I found you. I am heart sick for your family. My dear friend has gone to be with her beloved Tom. May you Rest in the Peace that God has surrounded you.

I am so very sad over the loss of one of my dearest friends, Cheryl Eagan. We met in 1980 and became very close friends. I understood when Paul became ill and Cheryl went with him to a nursing home. They were each other's strength. They could not live without one another. Following his death I visited Cheryl in different homes until I entirely lost track of her. I called various home in the Dayton area. Letters and cards were returned to me. I combed the internet; combing it for her existence. I finally found her. I am sick with grief for the family. She has been gone for nine months. Cheryl I will never miss the good times we had. Rest in the Peace that only God has surrounded you.
