Cheryl loved sewing, making doll clothes and quilts for everyone in her family and then donating others to veterans, women's shelters and hospitals. She was a member of the Vermilion Valley Quilters and the Danville Cancer Support Group. Cheryl volunteered and participated in several charity walks to raise money for cancer research. She had many jobs over her life but enjoyed working at Danville School District No. 118 DHS Cafeteria the most because of the friends she attracted. Cheryl cherished the trips taken to see her sister in Seattle and especially viewing the city from the Space Needle. She was a homemaker, a loving wife, mom, grandma and devoted friend. Cheryl loved her Yorkies and her latest rescue Brinkley.
