Cheryl Griesinger Obituary

GRIESINGER

Cheryl Lynn



Cheryl L. "Susie" Griesinger, 52, of Port Clinton, OH died suddenly at home on May 29, 2015 after a long battle with COPD. She was born April 26, 1963 in California to Leroy and Diane Plummer. Cheryl was especially loved and will always be cherished by her life partner, Charles Griesinger.

Despite constant struggles with complications from her disease, Cheryl refused to let COPD win. She was a very hard worker who had a passion for fitness and exercise. Her inspiration for living came from spending time with and spoiling her first grandchild, Gabriella "Izzy" Zetzer. She was anxiously awaiting the arrival of her grandson.

Cheryl is preceded in death by her parents and her son, Andrew Griesinger. Surviving to carry on her memories are Charles Griesinger; daughters, Ashley Plummer and Tasha Zetzer; her "fur babies" Princess, Champ, and Bowser; and many other family members.

A private cremation will take place with a memorial service at the home of Charles and Cheryl on Sunday, June 7, 2015. Donations can be made to the family.

Your were the best mom, friend and loving person.
Now that your gone, each day the pain just worsens.
You were Gabi's role model, as she looked up to you.
No grandparent is better, you'll never be renewed.
If I could turn back time, to show my son the same,
I would real quick, cuz Carson has your family name.

Griesinger or plummer, it's the thought that counts. He could use you in his life now more than ever,
He is lacking weight, but you'd feed him the pounds.
I know he would have loved you like Gabi still does.
We show him all your pictures with his big sister,
Deep inside, he knows how great his grandma was.
All the love you had to offer, give, and spare,
And all the helpful and considerate deeds you did.
I know for sure you'd have the biggest CHD AWARE.
He was literally born with a broken heart,
And the doctors obviously did a great job mending it,
But with all you were he would of had a better start.

I know we had our differences and arguments too,
But to this day, my strengths still come from you.
If only you could read this to know just how I feel,
Then you would know hard hard it is for me to deal.
They say that time can somehow heal all things...
I say time is nothing, with the sorrow that it brings.
So here I am Cheryl, writing my feelings in a poem,
To say I loved you and we all just want you home.

I can't believe its almost been an year since you pass away still feels like yesterday. My life has been so empty with you in my life, I'm so alone with noone to talk to the way i talk to you. And so sad you never met your grandson Carson. And all his health issues I could have use your support. I miss you everyday and still cry often. Love you mom

Cheryl was a person that did for others before herself. She was so excited when she first found out about she was having her first granddaughter, she loved her very much and enjoyed spending lots of time with her. I will always remember you and you will always be in my heart. I love you and miss you very much .

I know that and I have not always agreed on everything or seen eye to eye on every topic, however I can honestly and personally say that she was a wonderful woman with the most amazing heart I have ever seen in my entire life. she is literally the only one I have ever referred to as "mom" besides my own mother. She has always been there for me when I needed someone to talk to, she has helped me out in more ways than I can count. If I was struggling there she was, if I was hurting, there she was, if I was just plain old having a bad day, again there she was to listen to me. If there was one thing I could say to her right now, it would be "I love you mom. You were like a best friend to me, and you deserve nothing but the best" she was a wonderful mother and just as great of a grandmother to my daughter Gabi, or as she called her "Izzy". So here I stand to say REST IN PEACE MOM. YOU WERE THE BEST PERSON THAT ANYONE COULD EVER ASK TO KNOW. REST IN PEACE YOU ARE MISSED.

My mom was the best. She always went out of her way to help her children and family out. She love my daughter very much and spoil her so much and couldnt wait for my son to be born always buyin toys and clothes for both. I will always remember our trips to amusement parks, rafting, dirt bike riding, sledding. She was always a phone call away if anyone ever needed to talk to her. She was the best baby sitter ever. Gabi was her shadow and follow her everywhere. She love grandma very much. My mom love playing her d.s games mario and zelda. She was a very hard worker. I love you mom always.
