So sorry for your loss. Prayers with you and your family. Great family growing up and playing ball.

From Greg Lewis:
I've known Cheryl since I started working at Bunn in 1995.  I always enjoyed working with her.  She was always exceedingly polite, thoughtful, reliable and did her best to help with whatever I was trying to accomplish.   I appreciated her honesty and suggestions which were always helpful and well thought out.  I considered her a friend and always talked with her outside strictly work stuff.  I learned she was a Disney enthusiast (might be an understatement) and we chatted a little about investments.  One time recently, after I retired, I was at a thrift store with my Mom and saw a womans mickey mouse watch that was vintage.  I reached out and she was definitely interested. I packed it up and sent it to her.  I'm very sorry shes left us, we've lost a bright light, one of the very good ones.  Her memory will stick with me always.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I cannot express how sorry I am for the passing of Cheryl. She was such a wonderful soul. She always spoke about her family and how much she adored them. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was very supportive. 
She hired me to work at Bunn. In the interview,  I asked her if she knew Cory Formea. She asked me why I asked.  I explained I had worked with him at The Illinois State Police. She smiled and said she just might know him and asked if I had met his twin brother Chad! I ended up working for her and Chad!  I almost wore my black lipstick tonight just for her! I would wear it to work for Halloween and she made such a production of how she couldn't look at me with it on! We laughed so hard. We talked about our kids and grandkids, flowers and gardening and so much more. My prayers are with her entire family that she loves so much.  May God fill you all with His love, peace, comfort, guidance and His Holy Spirit to help you heal as only He can.

I was so excited to see Cheryl at the Illinois State Fair!

“My deepest condolences to Dan and Cheryl's entire family, I worked with Cheryl at Bunn and she was one of the kindest people I knew, she came in with a smile every day and was always willing to help you any way she could.   Cheryl loved talking about her family and their trips to Disney, you will be missed.   RIP Cheryl, you are now with God and no longer in pain.

So sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing I knew her from working at BUNN She was a very sweet person I always enjoyed talking with her Condolences to all of her family

Cheryl was so kind hearted and a special friend and always made you smile.  My sympathies to her mother and husband and family and friends. She will be missed but never forgotten. ❤️

I’m very sorry to hear of the passing of Cheryl. Condolences to all of the family. She was a kind, sweet, gentle person. I’ve known Cheryl since  West Grand grade school.  Her obituary shows she had a lot of family that loved her. 
RIP my friend. God speed. Again , sorry for ur loss.

I worked with Cheryl at Bunn, she hired me and helped me transfer to Colorado, which I will forever be grateful for. Cheryl was amazing, she was so warm, kind, and quick to laugh. She loved her kids sooooo much and talked about her family all the time. One year I moved house shortly before Christmas and she found out I didn’t have a Christmas tree. She dragged me to Michaels, helped me pick out a tree and decorations and insisted I send her a picture of it all set up. She loved the holidays so much and wanted everyone to experience them. I still have the little tree that we bought that night.  My deepest condolences to her family. Cheryl, you will be missed so much by so many, I wish we had the chance to have that dinner we were hoping for.  I’ll always think of you when setting up my tree and when buying a rotisserie chicken!

This was the last time I saw you.  We talked about getting together and doing lunch soon but that day never came.  I’m so sad to see you go but glad you are in no more pain.  You were the sweetest boss and I will remember all the long conversations we had at work with you telling me a million times about your Disney trips lol…..we never made it to the Katy Perry concert but I’ll think of you when I hear her songs.  Rest in heaven Cheryl.  We will miss you♥️♥️

Cheryl was my boss when I started with Bunn
 Great person always had time to share story's of her family.  Sorry for your loss

I worked with Cheryl at Bunn, one summer day, we took the day off and played tourist.  We went through Lincoln's home and then lunch and shopping. She was always kind and supportive to me. Sending prayers and hugs to her family. Michelle Hurt.

I’m so sorry for Cheryl’s passing. Cheryl always had a smile and was such a wonderful kind hearted person. We traveled for work a couple times to California and Disney was a place we had to go and visit. Needless to say she made sure the grandchildren got a gift from there. We had a lot of laughs during our trips or anytime we seen each other. 
Sending the family my condolences, I know she will be missed by all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️‍🩹🕊️🕊️
