Cheryl was predeceased by her husband, Charles Powers; her parents, Norman and Bernice Schaaf; and her siblings, Beverly Blithe, Dennis Schaaf, and Debbie Drulik (and her husband, the late Wayne Drulik). She is survived by her brother-in-law Albert Blithe, sister-in-law Michaele Schaaf, and her loving nieces and nephews: Tracy (Richard) Blithe, Danielle (Joseph) Drulik, and Spencer (Kathryn) Drulik; as well as her cherished great-nieces, Nora and Olivia.
