Cheryl Ann Kibbee "Nanny", beloved mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend, was born August 19, 1964, and passed away peacefully at home on November 23, 2025, surrounded by her family. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Cheryl was the devoted mother of Jake Lunderman, Tia Nichols (Matthew), and Charles Lunderman. She was "Nanny" to her three grandchildren - Julian Lunderman, Noah Nichols, and Evie Nichols - who were truly her entire world. She also adored her grand-dog Bailey. Cheryl later married her husband, David, and together they shared their life with their beloved dog, Sadie.

Cheryl earned her associate's degree and became a registered nurse, dedicating her career to caring for others with kindness, skill, and her compassionate heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Dorothy Reed Hilts, as well as her sisters Debra King, Patricia Goold, and Billie Jo Nellenback. She is survived by her sisters Darlene Brown and Laurie Price, along with many nieces and nephews.

Cheryl enjoyed having coffee on her patio, crafting, baking, and spending time with her family. The memories she created will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
