In Loving Memory of Cheryl Anne Fox-Michaud

Cheryl Anne Fox-Michaud, lovingly known as "Cher", went to Heaven peacefully on March 25, 2026, in Chandler, Arizona, at the age of 81.

Born on February 4, 1945 in Framingham, Massachusetts, Cheryl carried her East Coast roots with her wherever life took her. While she spent years in Arizona, her heart always belonged to Colorado Springs, Colorado-a place she truly called home.

Cheryl was the beloved daughter of Albert and Maxine Michaud and a cherished sister to Butchie of Florida, and Sandie, Lynn, and Chrissy of Connecticut.

She was a proud mother to her children: Kelly (Brack), Rachelle (Randy-her favorite lol), Craig, and Kevin. Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren Jesse (Domenica), Nicole (Ben), and Brandon, her treasured great-grandchildren: Anjelina, Dominic, Jesse, Daniella, Alexa, Leanne, Autumn, and Landon, and three great-great-grandchildren.

Cher was a talented cosmetologist who truly loved using her hands. Later in life, she continued that same spirit of care and compassion in her work as a special needs caregiver, where she touched many lives with her patience and kindness. Cher had a vibrant, spirited personality and never held back-if she thought it, she said it. Her honesty was part of what made her so unforgettable and deeply loved by those who knew her best. She found happiness in long walks, crosswords, and cheering on her beloved Denver Broncos. Music was always close to her heart-especially the Beatles, which brought her comfort and joy throughout life until her last days. She also had a remarkable ability to accept people as they were-she never judged anyone, and her open heart made everyone feel welcomed.

Above all, Cher's greatest love was her family. She created a home filled with unconditional love-a place where everyone felt welcome and cherished.

She will be remembered for her strength, her candor, her kindness, and the beautiful "Cher Stories" she leaves behind. Though she is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in our hearts. This is not a goodbye, but we will see you later.

We love you, our crazy lady.

A Celebration of Life will be determined at a later date.
