Cheryl Thomas Obituary
Cheryl M. Thomas, 64, of Mountain Top, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, July 5, 2025, with family by her side.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, Cheryl was the beloved daughter of the late Stephen J. and Norma M. Motovidla Beres. She was a proud graduate of Crestwood High School, Class of 1979, and went on to earn her associate degree from Luzerne County Community College. Cheryl was employed as a dedicated salesperson by Cornell Iron Works.
She was a member of the Wilkes-Barre Township American Legion Women's Auxiliary and had a deep appreciation for classic rock music. Above all, Cheryl cherished time spent with her family and looked forward to annual trips to Ocean City, Maryland, which brought her immense peace and joy and where so many lasting memories were made.
Cheryl will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family and her generous spirit.
Left to honor her memory are her devoted husband, George Thomas; her loving son, Bryan Thomas and his wife, Allyson; cherished granddaughter, who was the light of her life, Madyson Thomas; sister, Maribeth Galbraith and her husband, Charles of Wilkes-Barre Township; sisters-in-law, Colleen and Moonie, and Mary and her husband, Jeff, all of Mountain Top; and several nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. Friday from Desiderio-Lehman Funeral and Cremation, 436 S. Mountain Blvd., Mountain Top.
A visitation to honor Cheryl's life will be held from 4 p.m. until the time of service.
