Sending prayers for peace and comfort to all of Cheryl’s family. We worked together at IBM many years ago. She was a kind and caring person who offered a bit of “family and home” to a young kid that was new to the area. Rest In Peace my friend.

To Cheryl’s family .... my sincere sympathy. Cheryl was a wonderful friend and coworker at IBM. I know that her family was the center of her universe. She was funny and smart and kind. I was so happy to connect with her via social media.

Cheryl, Amy, Tim & Ed were our next door neighbors on Arthur Ave. and we shared so many good memories of the our kids growing up together through their teen years. Cheryl was a devoted mother & good friend. She adopted "Buford", a great dog & buddy of all our kids, who went
between the houses to share his love & affection with both families!
Thinking of Cheryl and all the good times we shared across our back yards! She was a cherished friend!
Sending our sympathy to all her family & friends! May God's caring grace be with you! Jackie & Jere

We have been friends since Jr.high (55yrs.) All though we lost touch in our later year's we did a lot together in our early years. You, Judie & I all married the same yr.. We all had our 1st born (Amy, Lea & Mathew ) within months of each other. I still wear the sweat shirt that you made for me & my mother for Christmas one year. So to my old friend R.I.P. Love to the entire family.
