Cheryl Murray Bolt, 79, of Pilot, Va., and formerly of Roanoke, Va., passed into the arms of our Lord on Sunday, June 4, 2023.
Born on December 16, 1943, she was the daughter of the late Ernest Nelson Murray and Joy Cook Murray. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James "Jim" Mack Bolt.
She will be missed by her children, James Timothy Bolt and wife Terrie Bolt, of El Paso, Texas, Joy Noelle Bolt of Roanoke, Va., Shannon Bolt McClellan and the late Larry McClellan of Pilot, Va., and Jesse Ethan Bolt of Martinsville, Va. In addition to her children, she will be missed by her eight grandchildren, Travis Bolt (Sarah) of Seattle, Wash., Tanner Bolt (Michaela) of Pueblo, Colo., Walker Bolt (Tabitha) of El Paso, Texas, Gabe Bolt of Roanoke, Va., John McClellan of Christiansburg, Va., and Zach McClellan, Danton McClellan, and Kamdon McClellan, all of Pilot, Va.

Cheryl was a member of Penn Forest Christian Church where she enjoyed worshiping with her friends. She spent the majority of her life working in her home as a daycare provider. She loved taking care of children and many of her kids developed lifelong friendships while staying at "Mimi Cheryl's" house. Cheryl worked hard to be sure that her family had everything they needed. She enjoyed shopping, reading, and cooking; but loved dogs above all else.
