Cherise Babb Obituary
July 20, 1967 - April 14, 2023
With incredible sadness, we share that Cherise passed away on April 14, 2023. She was tragically taken in an accident while doing one of the things she was most passionate about, exercise. Taken from us too soon, with so much more life to live.
Cherise is preceded in death by her father Alphonse Vassallo and survived by her mother Ingrid, her daughters; Katie (Steven) Beard, Cassie Babb, her grandchildren; Kayden Beard, Kaylie Beard, and Karson Beard, her brother Ricky (Amy) Vasallo, nephews; Matt Vassallo and Andrew Vassallo, former husband Billy Babb.
Cherise was born and raised in San Francisco and deeply loved her city by the bay, forever proud to be a San Francisco girl. But she had country life dreams in her soul having grown up owning, riding, and showing horses. Cherise and her family moved to Escalon, CA in 1995, where she raised her 2 beautiful daughters and was a mom to many.
Most of her career was spent working for Stanislaus County in Social Services, for over 23 years. She was cherished by several lifelong friends and she made many friends easily throughout her life and career. Cherise was a vibrant, adventurous, and beautiful person who was kind to all she encountered. Always generous and always ready to lend a hand. All who met her could not help but be charmed by her.
Her interests were many, always ready for an adventure with many plans for her retirement years, including travel. She was a talented cook, witty humourist, and devoted daughter, mother, and loving "gram". She loved to make Sunday dinners for her family. Cherise's grandchildren were a great highlight of her life and a treasure to her. She took great pride in never missing their important events or milestones. She will be deeply missed.
Cherise loved God and her country.
Family services will be private but a celebration of life will be announced shortly.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Cherise´s passing. I knew her as a girl, we boarded our horses at the same stable in Daly City. I randomly thought of her today and only learned of her passing this very day. I have many fond memories of riding with her and spending time together as a pre-teen. Sending all my prayers for the peaceful rest of her soul and comfort for her family.

Cherise lived life to the fullest. Her bright contagious laughter filled a room. Cherise had strong beliefs and fought for what she believed to be true and fair. I admired her free will and adventures lifestyle. My sincere condolences to her family and dearest friends.

Sorry for the tragic loss of Cherise. She was the cute little sister Ricky growing up. I´m sure living next to McLaren Park instilled in her the love of horses & the outdoors. Til we meet on the other side.

I knew Cherise for over 35 years and loved her. We made each other laugh and shared many similarities. I am deeply saddened and shocked that she is gone, as all of us. She was a bright light always and the memories will stay with me. My deepest condolences to her daughters and family.
