Cheryl graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Master's Degree in Anaerobic Microbiology. She was a very active member of the Bethel Lutheran Church in Danville, IL and active in many community organizations over the years. Cheryl was a strong supporter and member of P.E.O. as well as the Audubon Society. She could identify and name any bird you could find in Central IL!

Cheryls love for her family and friends was evident. She was the first person to cheer you on, the first person to give you a hug when things didnt go as planned, and the first to celebrate with you in your successes. Her smile and laughter could light up a room, and a hug from her could warm your heart and ease your worries. Her children and grandchildren knew she would always provide comfort and love.

Cheryl loved curling up with a mystery novel, a cup of warm tea, and her loving Newfoundland dog by her side. She passed that love onto her daughters. She was a wonderful cook, and created a sense of warmth and love with each and every meal you shared with her. A large bowl of ice cream was the best dessert in her eyes! Our lives are not the same without Cheryl, but she lives in our hearts, always a comfort and a source of love and light.
