Sarina Cheak Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sarina was a passionate and dedicated journalist before starting her family, working for the *Times Herald/The White Wright Son*, the newspaper owned by her parents. She touched many lives through her work and community involvement.
Sarina was a wonderful mother. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her family, as she was often seen as a second mother by her children's friends. Sarina was a proud and loving grand mother, and her famous, award-winning salsa became a hallmark of family gatherings. She had a deep love for music, particularly live performances and country tunes, which brought her great joy throughout her life.
Sarina is survived by her husband of 40 years, Joe Cheak; her daughter, Courtney Johnson, and husband John; her son, William Cheak; her siblings, Paul Waldrop and wife Sarah, Joe Waldrop and wife Cathy, Bobby Waldrop and wife Tiffany, and Kelly Owens and husband Jesse; her cherished grandchildren, Carter Cheak and Aubree Johnson; as well as, beloved numerous nieces, nephews, and a host of dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jessie and Jo Waldrop.
A memorial "get together" will be held at a later date to honor Sarina's life and the impact she had on all who knew her.

I attended high school with Sarina. She always seemed friendly with everyone. I believe she was a drummer in the band and I was on the drill team. She was small (short) but could take very good care of herself. I know she will be missed, therefore, memories will be your saving grace.
