Where she stayed and retired for 30 plus years. During that time, she met Lynn Horn and various friends, she was always a free spirit and never met a stranger.

At the age of 35 she welcomed her only child Jordyn into the world. Above all else she cherished being a mother the most. In 2006, Cheryl decided to build a home for herself and her daughter Jordyn. As a single mother, Cheryl wanted to provide the best for her family and though some challenges, she always provided. Her enthusiasm for adventure brought her to many places such as Europe, Colorado, Mexico and United States where she experienced scuba diving, snow skiing, and meeting people of different cultures. Her love for travel sparked an interest in perusing a career as a flight attendant but aside from l traveling her hobbies included interior design, gardening, & 2 stepping to country music which led her to meeting her current partner Tony Legato, where they shared 8 plus years together. Cheryl had great friends and shared many memories. She was God loving, beautiful, and caring. She respected everyone and was a rock for many. Cheryl will be dearly missed by all that new and loved her.
