Cheryl enjoyed being around children. She worked at Cimarron Montessori in the toddler classroom for many years before moving to Oklahoma City where she worked at Small Society Child Development Center, Affinia Chassis Group and at O’Reilly Auto Parts Distribution Center.
Cheryl made sure her children had every opportunity possible and enrolled them in every sport and dance class imaginable. She never skipped any steps and was very precise about everything. Everyone knew which Christmas presents she wrapped because the paper was wrapped so tightly and perfectly that everyone felt bad ripping it apart. Even though she was never quite ahead of schedule, she made sure that her kids never missed out on anything, even if that meant going back into the post office employee's only area after hours to get a postmark stamped on a summer camp application. She loved her grandchildren and enjoyed attending many of their activities and school functions. She was also a true cat lover and enjoyed caring for and playing with her many feline friends.
May Cheryl’s memory bring comfort and smiles to those who knew and loved her.
