Cherry enjoyed working in her garden, cooking, baking, spending time with her children and grandchildren, and watching Andy Griffith reruns. She was a proud member of the United Methodist Women’s Organization and enjoyed volunteering with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Birmingham. Cherry was a wonderful wife and best friend, adored mother, and beloved grandmother whose warmth and kindness were felt by all who knew her.
