With deep love and gratitude for her life, the family announces the passing of Cheryl Farmer Walters, 58, of Danville, Virginia, who transitioned peacefully on December 26, 2025, at Atrium Health Wake Baptist in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Born on June 27, 1967, in Danville, Virginia, Cheryl was the beloved daughter of Gloria Jean Brandon and the late Rev. Charlie Junior Farmer.

Cheryl was educated in the Pittsylvania County School System and graduated from Dan River High School. She went on to further her education at National Business College, where she completed her studies in Computer Technology with dedication and pride.

At a young age, she accepted Christ and became a devoted member of Pleasant Chapel Baptist Church. Throughout the years, she joyfully shared her gift of song as a member of the Young Adult Choir, later known as the Intermediate Choir.

She also completed an arrangement of the hymn Fountain Filled with Blood that was recorded by The Gospel Glorifiers. Her love for her church was steadfast, and she faithfully served as a youth advisor and later as an advisor with the Seniors Ministry.

In addition to her father, Charlie Farmer, Cheryl was preceded by her brother, Michael Sterling Farmer.

Cheryl was united in marriage to Nathan Christopher Walters, and together they built a life grounded in family and faith.

She also leaves to treasure her memory a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends.
