Cheryl loved traveling with John, whom she met in 2010. She enjoyed going to her summer camp in Stafford Springs, CT. especially Bingo nights. She was also very active in the Transplant community at UF Shands Gainesville for 7 years after John received his double lung transplant. She never failed to remember the small details, including sending a hand-written birthday note each year to her loved ones, but most of all, she loved spending time with her family and friends! Her thoughtfulness, compassion, and loving heart will be deeply missed by all.

Services will be held at St. Joseph’s Church, Auburn, MA on Saturday January 13th, 2023 at 9:30AM, followed by the burial at Worcester County Memorial Park, Paxton, MA with a celebration of life at J.
