Cheryl Strychowski Obituary
Cheri was born in Abington Hospital, in Pennsylvania, the daughter of the late Peter and Elaine De Pree.
Cheri graduated from William Tennant High School in her home town of Warminster, Pa. Her undergraduate degree in Biology was earned at Lycoming College, Williamstown, Pa. and her Master's Degree in Science Education from Temple University, in Philadelphia, Pa.. Her professional career was dedicated to teaching Children in middle school, junior high and high school. Cheri taught for 35 years. She taught Science at Log College and Biology at William Tennant High School in the Centennial School District. The last 25 years was at the Council Rock School District in assigned various sciences and advanced biology at Newtown Middle/Jr. High School.
Upon her retirement, Cheri and Ed became snowbirds and in 2009 moved to Manasota Key, Fla. full time. The love of sciences never left her and a whole new world of beach, tropical plants, birds, dolphins and manatees opened to her. She would spend hours in a kayak on the waters of Lemon Bay exploring the shallows and the life that lives there. Her interest in learning never left until dementia began to cloud her memories.
Cheri's loving, mild but stern when needed, approach to raising her sons and husband resulted in a beautiful family relationship of successful mothering and a happy marriage. She is now at peace and with the angels.
Cheri is survived by her loving husband of 39 years: Edward S. Strychowski; and two children: Daniel (Heidi) Nibouar of Portland, Oregon who was born during her first marriage to Donald Nibouar. The blessing of a second son, Edward P. (Emily) Strychowski of Portland, Oregon was joyfully welcomed into the world during her marriage to Ed. Also surviving are three grandchildren: Bowman and Marguerite Nibouar and Maxwell Strychowski; and two brothers: Peter De Pree and Geoffrey De Pree both of Pennsylvania.
A celebration of Cheri's life will be announced at a later date.

I worked with Cheri many years at Newtown Middle School. She was an excellent teacher, who always went the extra distance for her students! She was also a special colleague and friend. We spent many hours sharing personal and professional information with each other; both of us being true Bucks Countians. My condolences and prayers are with Ed, her sons and family.

I had the honor and privilege of working with Cheri at Newtown Jr.High. Cheri was a mentor to me in learning how to teach 7th grade Science to my special education students. She always showed the utmost patience and kindness with me as well as her students. So sorry for her family.

Cheri helped me immensely as a new teacher at Newtown Middle School. She was very kind and dedicated to her students and the other teachers at the school. I wouldn't be the teacher or person that I am today without the guidance and support that she always showed me.

A fine teacher, Cheri demanded the best from her students while, at the same time, giving them her best. She was a woman of intellect whose desire to learn was a constant in her life. Cheri and I taught together, and I am honored to have known her both as a colleague and as a person.

A fine teacher who was demanding of her students but also showed them the warmth they needed. She has always had my greatest respect, and I am honored to have known her. Wear those sandals well, Cheri. Patricia Liddie

Bill and I met Ed and Cheri a couple years ago when they welcomed us as new snowbirds.
Cheri was the easiest person to love. We'd sit on the boardwalk. She'd tell me stories of her teaching days and oh how she loved chocolate mint ice cream! She spoke of her sons with much pride and adored Ed. Her laughter was the best part of her quiet personality. She will be so missed.
Ed, Bill and I are so sorry for your loss of the love of your life.
