Cheryl Audrey Farley, a beloved member of her community, passed away on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on March 5, 1946, in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, she was the cherished daughter of the late H. Douglas Smith, Jr. and Audrey J. Sears Smith Markle and her step father Harry Markle.

She retired in 2008, leaving behind a legacy of love and dedication that touched many lives.
She was very involved with the Divas Hats of Many Colors of Villa Rica. Cheryl's favorite saying was "Love You" where she expressed it to all family, neighbors and friends.

Words can't start to express the loss of Mrs. Cheryl. She's been such an important part of my parents life and mine for the past 20 years. She helped my mom in so many ways since my parents moved to GA after Katrina. Knowing she was next door to my mom after my dad passed 6 years ago put me at ease because I knew she had a great neighbor to help her get through the time. Now we will be here for Mr. George and his family the same way. Mrs. Cheryl was such a compassionate person, her love and kindness will be greatly missed.
Lots of love,
Janet (Shea) and Steve Totora
