Cheryl A. Lorenzen
June 16, 1944-December 19, 2022
DAVENPORT-Cheryl A. Lorenzen, 78, of Davenport, Iowa passed away on Monday, December 19, 2022 at Genesis East Medical Center. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 27, 2022 from 4-6pm at Weerts Funeral Home.

Cheryl was born on June 16, 1944 to Dale and Loretta Mart in Rock Island, Illinois. She married the love of her life, Robert Lorenzen on March 20, 1963. Cheryl had many hobbies over the years but she was most known for her love of her family, Jesus, and gardening. She loved to unwind with late night movies and a good snack. Cheryl was enamored with patriotism and loved the USA. Cheryl was an active member at The Vineyard Church and met every Monday with her Life Group. She was a huge advocate for forgiveness, faith and kindness. Most of all Cheryl loved her family and her sweet pup, Mocha. Cheryl was and will always be the glue that held her family together.
Those left to honor her memory are her husband of almost 60 years Bob; children Chelly (Rick) Griffith and Scott (Kim) Lorenzen; grandchildren Kahlib (Shawna) Griffith, Kayla Lorenzen, Eric (Liz Roberts) Lorenzen, and Katie Griffith; two great-grandchildren Layla and Riley Griffith; and two siblings Mary Wells and Dale (Susan) Mart. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister Nellie Wells.

Cheryl was always a breath of fresh air and smiling! I will miss her so much in our women's group at Vineyard church. She always had wonderful take on everything we talked about. Now she is walking with Jesus, something she truly anticipated!
We will miss you! Judy Heath
