Cheryl Thomas Obituary
Cheryl was a devoted mother to Shawn, her pride and joy. She always said his birth changed her life for the better, and he felt that in the love and support she provided. She also shared this love with many others who looked up to her as a mother as well.
Cheryl took special joy in loving on young mothers in her community by hosting weekly playdates and luncheons, and left us with fond memories of home-made halloween costumes and motherly wisdom she shared.
Cheryl was predeceased by her parents.
Cheryl is survived by her husband, Phil Thomas; her son, Shawn Thomas and his girlfriend, Maegan Cabana; her sisters, Helen and Sandy and Sandy's partner, Deb; her nephew Chad and his sons Keegan, Aiden, and Elijah. Cheryl chose to be Ma Taunt to Laura Simpson and her husband Andrew, and their children Eli, Leo, Noa, and Charlette. Cheryl chose to be Mother to Dorie LaRose and her husband Kevin, and Grammie to their children Veronica, Isabelle, William, Oliver Thomas, David, and the late Ella. She was a dear friend to Karen Andrews and her husband Carl.
A service to celebrate Cheryl's life will be held on July 13 at 2pm at GracePoint Church, 329 South St, Biddeford, Maine 04005. Arrangements are being handled by Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services, located at 999 Forest Ave Suite 1, Portland, Maine 04103.
