Cheryl Diamond

Cheryl Lynn Diamond, 74, of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away on December 27, 2025. She was born on February 28, 1951, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Richard and Laraine Diamond. Cheryl grew up in Utah before moving to Las Vegas as a senior at Western High School.

Cheryl spent her career in gaming, working as a dealer of various table games. She dedicated 24 years to the iconic Stardust Hotel, working there until the doors closed on November 1, 2006. Cheryl was the kind of woman who didn't take nonsense from anyone, sharp-tongued when needed, full of wit, and always ready to deliver or appreciate a good joke. She gave players an authentic Vegas experience, the kind people remember fondly when they talk about "the way things used to be."

She will be remembered for her unwavering dedication to her family. Though she could complain with flair and carried a tough exterior, her family always knew it came from a deep well of love. No matter how gruff she sounded, her loyalty and affection ran strong. Her humor and her honesty were just part of her signature style.

Cheryl was gifted with her hands and creativity. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting, and crafting of all kinds, often creating beautiful, intricate pieces that her family will treasure for years to come. She also deeply loved her animals throughout her life and was a proud pack leader, making sure everyone, two-legged and four-legged, knew the rules. She was also a skilled pinochle player, sharp and strategic, known for her unmatched table talk. She never gloated in victory and had zero tolerance for anyone who did. With a raised eyebrow or a pointed comment, she kept the peanut gallery quiet and reminded everyone that there was no kibitzing allowed during a serious game.

Cheryl is survived by her siblings: Kenneth Diamond; Linda Diamond; Charmaine and JB Osborne; Cynthia Diamond; Tamara and Terry Bruce; Mark Diamond; Deborah Diamond; Valerie Diamond; and Richard Diamond. Cheryl leaves behind an expansive clan of many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. She liked to say she wasn't fond of kids, but her nieces and nephews knew better, especially when she'd torment them just enough to get a dramatic sniffle before sending them back to their parents. Behind the jokes and the tough shell was someone who loved deeply. Family meant everything to her, and she showed it in her own unforgettable way.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard Diamond and Laraine Brace Diamond, her husband Randall Satterwhite, and her sisters, Diana Diamond and Melanie Diamond.

Cheryl's life was full, and she lived on her own terms. Her humor, strength, and unmistakable presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A celebration of life will be held on February 28, 2026, from 4:30–6:30 p.m. at the home of Jennifer Diamond.
