Cheryl was best described as faithful. She was a faithful wife to the love of her life, Frank, whom she married on July 4, 1956, in Durant, Oklahoma. She was a faithful mother, always pointing her children to Jesus. She was a faithful Grammy to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren whom she thoroughly enjoyed spending time with. She was a faithful member of the Christ Gospel Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving in many capacities in the church for 57 years. She was known for making puppets and having puppet shows and working as a leader in the Royal Regiments program for many years. Then, she was a faithful member of the Christ Gospel Church in Jeffersonville, Indiana, enjoying the livestreamed services the two years she was unable to attend in person.

Cheryl worked outside the home only a few times while her children were growing up, as she would rather be serving at home as a housewife. She enjoyed sewing and painting, but most of all she enjoyed spending time with family. She liked finding ways to have fun and to make family and friends laugh. She was loved by all who knew her, and she will be greatly missed.
