Cheryl was a kind person with a good heart, who loved and cared for animals all of her life. She was known as the "pet lady". She held no malice toward anyone. Every single holiday she decorated her yard. People will remember her dedication to brightening the holidays with figures in the yard and lighted ornaments. She will be deeply missed by family and friends.

Cheryl is survived by her three sisters: Candace Kreps, Tucson AZ; Cindy Miltenberger, Pueblo, Colorado and Chris Richert, Phoenix, AZ. She also had many cousins. No services will be held. The family asks those who wish to express condolences, can also donate to a local or favorite animal shelter.
