She was a member of the Augusta Women’s Club, the Rotary Club, and served on the board of several local charities. Cheryl was always willing to lend a helping hand and was a true pillar of the community.
Cheryl’s family was her pride and joy. She was a devoted wife to her husband of 48 years, John, and a loving mother to her two children, Michael and Sarah. Cheryl and John were inseparable and enjoyed traveling to different parts of the world together.
