Cheryl Nichols Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud graduate of Perry High School, Cheryl remained deeply rooted in her hometown throughout her life. She is survived by her beloved husband, Boyce Wayne Nichols, with whom she shared more than six decades of marriage, and their sons: Andrew (Vikki), Samuel (Chiemi), and Mark (Amy).
She is survived by her grandchildren: Alexandra, Mackenzie, Evan, Oliver, Angus, and Elliot; and two great-grandchildren Levi and Hallie and many extended family members.
She was a gifted seamstress, dedicated to detail and through an unparalleled devotion to her calendar, managed her domestic life with grace. Cheryl never missed a birthday or holiday, and took great joy in sending thoughtful letters, handwritten cards and gifts. She excelled at Progressive Rummy, Uno, Sudoku puzzles and dominated the mini golf course at Geneva on the Lake. Dancing with Wayne brought her particular joy that echoed throughout their enduring partnership.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 from 10 am to 12 Noon at Perry First Baptist Church, 3918 Main Street in Perry with a Service immediately following at 12 noon at the church. Final Resting place will be at Perry Cemetery. All are welcome to attend and honor her memory.
