An additional hour of visitation will take place before the 1:00 p.m. funeral service on Thursday, October 16, 2025, also at Cruz Family Funeral Home. Cheryl will be laid to rest at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens following the service.

Cheryl loved garage sales and the thrill of finding a good deal. A devoted homemaker, she always put her family first, making sure everyone was cared for and often putting others needs before her own. Her grandchildren adored her, and she proudly held the title of “favorite aunt” among her nieces and nephews.

She was an avid reader who enjoyed watching soap operas, Lifetime movies, and Hallmark shows. In her younger years, some of her happiest times were spent camping at Yogi Bear Campground with her family. Those who knew her will remember her as dependable, loving, compassionate, selfless, and fun.

Because of Cheryl’s love for children, memorial contributions may be made to Riley Children’s Hospital or the American Heart Association.
