Cheryl was born in Roanoke, raised her family in Richmond, and lived the last 30 years in Mathews County, VA. When she lived in Richmond, she was a member of Varina Episcopal Church, the Varina Junior Woman’s Club and helped out with any activity her children were involved in. When she moved to Mathews, she became a member of Christ Episcopal Church and served on the Vestry, the Altar Guild, was a youth group leader and co-chaired the craft booth at the annual Fall Fair until she could no longer do so. She was a member of PEO Chapter BT, Red Hats, and loved to play Mahjong, canasta and bridge. She was also an adventurous snow skier and traveler. Our mom had a beautiful smile and was incredibly sweet. We were so lucky to have had her, but not nearly long enough.
