I have such great memories growing up next to the Jenson Family in Brandon Forest, summers in the pottery shop, and many holidays and celebrations spent together...  Cheryll was always so kind. I don’t recall a time when she wasn’t laughing and smiling.    This world is a lesser place without her in it. I’m so sorry. 

I always looked forward to seeing Aunt Cheryll, Uncle John, Carrie and John when they came for visits.
I remember the whole family getting together at Aunt Betty and Uncle Virgil's when Grandpa Jenson was still with us.
Sending my love to you all.

Grandma was the best person in the world to me and my cousin Kaylee. Growing up she would take care of us when we were sick or not. She was always there for us anytime even when she was busy. Grandma would help out her son John with setting up Halloween at his house or she would help out with the neighborhood parties for the kids ( 4th of July, neighborhood yard sales bake sale, Christmas decorating, and so much more. ) Over the years we have changed but I remember all of the good times. My favorite one now is in December 2020 even when it was hard with the death of my dad John (her son) she got to see my son Kane after 4 years and my daughter Dawn for the first time. Seeing them interact was the best day. It is sad to let her go but I know she is with my dad and waiting for the time when her whole family will be with her again. 

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH GRANDMA!!!!

From us in Arizona your granddaughter, grand son-in-law, great grandson, and great granddaughter,

Jewele, Matt, Kane, and Dawn.

Don and I were very sorry to hear of Aunt Cheryll’s passing.  Living so far away in Illinois our time spent with her was limited.  However, we so looked forward to her and her sister’s visits.  The stories and laughter that was shared will forever be in our memories.  Aunt Cheryll we pray you are now at peace with your son, parents and siblings.   You will be missed.

Sorry for you Loss!! She and John were my favorite aunt and uncle growing up.  She will be missed!!

Our dear Aunt Cheryll was truly beautiful inside and out. Her big bright beautiful blue eyes would light up the room!  Her sweet voice and warm smile are the things we remember most about her. Her home was always filled with warmth and family, you always felt comfortable and welcomed.  She made all the holidays and events special. Many years of family and fun packed Christmases, Easters, watching the Olympic Games and July 4ths were spent in her home. All filled with wonderful memories of decorations, delicious food and lots of family! We always admired her beautiful gardens and the way she decorated her home. We always looked forward to our next visit.  Aunt Cheryll was a quiet and kind soul, but always able to make you laugh with her unexpected quick-witted humor! While she will be missed everyday, we find comfort in having known and loved her and that she will be reunited with her parents, brothers and sisters and her dear son. 
Love,
Alana’s Girls

My dear Cheryll was a true angel with her beautiful blue eyes, her radiant smile, and I will never forget her gorgeous, thick, blonde hair. When we were young, her nickname was, “Dynamite” because she was unstoppable and she gave everything 110%. Her delicious cooking, her beautiful porcelain dolls, and her gardens were all things you saw in magazines, everything was to perfection! She always took everything in stride. I remember being young and she had just gotten her driver’s license. She was very nervous helping mom drive all six of her younger siblings down to Florida, but despite how nervous she was, she persevered and got us all here safely. Another wonderful memory I have of her is when I went with her to the Florida Keys. She was petrified to swim, but we jumped in the water together with our snorkel and fins and enjoyed every moment. Though she was tough and accomplished her goals, she also had such a kind heart. I will always remember the soft touch of her hand holding mine, telling me that she would always be there for me, just like mom’s soft, warm hands had told me many many years before. Cheryl was a strong and loving mother and grandmother. She did whatever she could to make her children, grand children, and husband happy, devoting every second to them. She was completely selfless. During our sister reunions we loved to watch her smile and laugh and sit back with a glass of wine. These and so many more memories I will hold in my heart always remembering my dear big sister. I know she is with mom and dad, her big brothers and sisters, and her sweet precious son Johnny.
Love your little sister,
Alana

On behalf of Cheryll's  4 brothers-in-law: Alan, Bill, Collin, and myself, this remembrance is being made to express our heartfelt feelings for Cheryll Snyder- jenson . Each of us saw that Cheryll , felt that her  two greatest privilege was first, being one of the 11 Snyder sisters with her 2 older brothers and second, giving life to her son, Johnny and daughter Carrie. Cheryll, gave unconditional love to her family the same as her mother, Lois gave to all of her 13 children. As brothers-in-law, we saw first hand how modest and how much Cheryll , let others have the limelight and did not seek the limelight for herself. She loved having fun being at Sisters Reunions. Her faith in God ran deep in her soul. Her qualities were so much in contrast  to others in  her daily life .Cheryll, always showed tolerance toward authoritarian responses. Cheryll ,we miss you and love you. Cheryll's life of caring continues the Synder family  legacy  as being  one of the best families in America.

I think of our sister, Cheryll Nan Snyder (jenson), as our "Sister's Angel". She was almost like a second mother to us little sisters during our childhood. When I was a little girl she never once complained when I would awaken her in the middle of the night to take me to the bathroom (which was almost every night). Cheryll ALWAYS GAVE SO MUCH of herself,  ASKED SO LITTLE,  RECEIVED SO LITTLE, and yet DESERVED SO MUCH MORE.  Her whole life epitomizes "Gentle Soul"-- Never an unkind word, her Love for;     us Sisters/family, Nature (her beautiful gardens), Art (accomplished in an array of needlework & pottery), and Animals. We will FOREVER miss Cheryll's laugh & unique sense of humor and never forget all the sidesplitting fun we shared every time we all got together at Sister Reunions. She was so sensitive & compassionate, and then again, what a hilarious cut-up !!!!     Eternal Peace now with you & your loving son, Johnny.  You will remain our very PRECIOUS Sister. I love you so much!!! I HATE losing you!!!! But, I am thankful you are with Mom & Dad & all our loved ones who have gone before. Our hearts are broken. All our memories of you will NEVER fade.  NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!        
    Your kid sis,   jb-birdie   



Thinking of my Aunt Cheryl reminds me of beautiful flower blossoming, opening, ready for the world to enjoy its beauty.... 
Her smile was always so welcoming & comforting.
She always made you feel right at home....(so much of Grandma Snyder is in her)
The holidays I remember were a blast! 
Pair her up with her sisters and you would be guaranteed a fun time❤️
You definitely will be deeply missed. 
 Love you so much.

(PS I made you a poem...)

Memories ❤️

I remember when I was small,
You were always so kind and sweet.
Always smiling & happy giving us tasty treats.

You’ve always been so thoughtful, 
And, today your still the same!
You showed your love to others,
And, that will NEVER change.

So when he decided to call you
You reached out readily. 
Knowing in your heart, 
we will  ALL meet again & 
live harmoniously.

You will always be a special Aunt, 
As special as can be.
Living on in each of hearts, 
And remaining in our memories. 


❤️You always, Kendra





When I heard about the passing of my Aunt Cheryll I was overcome with a profound sense of pain and loss. She was a fun, loving, caring Aunt and I loved her so much. Recently a friend asked me where my favorite palace I lived was. I said Florida, and they said because of the nice weather and beaches. I started to say yes, but then I thought about it and I said no. It was all the good memories growing up surrounded by people that loved me. My Aunt Cheryll was a huge part of that. When I would be around her at her house, I felt loved and at home. As an adult I appreciate the time I spend with her in Tampa more than going to Disney World. Even just hanging out with her laughing and joking with everyone made me so happy. Even as an adult I enjoyed our conversations together. She loved everyone unconditionally regardless of what was going on in her life. 
She was the only one to always call me Elizabeth instead of a nickname of it. When she would say “Now, Elizabeth” when I was about to do something wrong, I would immediately do the right thing. Around her I wanted to be a better person. I often thought of her as the moral compass of our family. I watched her always put everyone else first. Growing up I watched her handle everything life through at her with a dignity and grace the rest of us wished we had half of.  
Aunt Cheryll thank you for making my childhood a happy one and being the best Aunt, and being my Mom’s best friend.

Love,
Elizabeth



 Cheryll ,You were the quintessential big sister. You were my best friend, confidant, and the most loving and selfless person I knew. You were always doing for others and put everyone else first. One time we had Easter at your house, and you surprised me with a birthday cake. That was the first time  I ever could remember someone baking me a birthday cake. As my birthday always fell around Easter it got lost in the chaos. I will never forget that. 
When Mom died, you were my go-to person when I had a question on anything. I wish you saw yourself as I saw you, a smart and strong woman. 
The fun we had when our families got together and travel,  out west and camped out and back. Also, the time we got together again and went to Port St. Joe, we dug for clams. Then we cooked them in the evening, and before we knew it, we were surrounded by skunks. 
Johnny had to grab Beth before she was sprayed by the skunks. Needless to say, the skunks got our dinner while we were in the camper laughing.
I cherish the time I would fly down to meet you and then drive together to go see Mom or go to the sister reunion. I remember your idea to stop by the store and get the gaudiest, biggest jewelry we could find, big flowers for our hair. When then put on a lot of makeup before we meet up with our sisters. When we got out of the car, the look we got from them was priceless. I will always remember the fun, the laughter, and acting like we were kids again at our sisters' reunions.   

The fun we had when you lived in Hialeah and we would get-together Friday nights with Mel and Robert and play cards. When  I was working and had a bad day I would call you on my way home,  by the end of the conversation you had me feeling better, and all of a sudden everything was ok.
Cheryll, my big sister, I will miss you immensely.  I know that you are yourself again. You are no longer scared, confused, and in pain. You are in peace with Johnny, Dad, and Mom.
You will always be in my heart.   Love Karen

When I think of my sister Cheryll I think of a free spirited soul. 
Always so thoughtful & caring, most of the time putting everyone’s  needs first before herself. 
Her smile was made of sunshine and her heart was made of Gold. 
Though her smile maybe lost forever the memories we shared within this lifetime will live on forever.
Your finally free sis...,free from any pain or suffering.
I wish I could rewind time & spend more time with you.
Words can’t explain the pain I feel knowing your not here with us anymore!
Just knowing I can’t say good bye the way I should, I’m sorry.
God has definitely gained a beautiful Angel. 
You will always live on in my heart FOREVER  and I will always be missing you so much! 
Love you ALWAYS. ~Your baby sis Debbie~


Cheryll, if I could call u just one more time & talk like old times it would help ease my grief. I know u had to leave because of the pain, being so tired & needing peace. It is your turn now to be taken care of after all the years taking care of everyone’s needs but yours. So loved u were a gift to all. Cheryll, u were a Faithful, loving wife. U will no longer be disappointed with promises made and never were kept. Never again always being asked “Is it a want or a need?!? Like Johnny u were a sweet, gentle & caring soul. People so kind like this tend to b taken for granted. You r with Johnny now & that helps me to bear the thought of u gone. My heart will forever b broken missing you & Johnny & wishing you both were here with us. Love Melanie 

We are so very sad to hear about Aunt Cheryll’s passing. She will always be remembered with lots of love. We will never forget the silly times the sisters had whenever they got together. 

My sweet big sis, what a beautiful soul! Always a pot of coffee on the stove & ready to welcome with open arms visitors from far & near!   Cheryll deserved so much more out of life. She faced many hardships & burdens, endured & hid them well AND still managed to laugh and love.  When God called Cheryll home, He left a precious gift of memories in exchange for all of us who adored & loved her. Until we meet again,  FOREVER IN MY HEART 🙏       LOVE, your little sis Kathe
