Cheryl leaves behind 2 sisters-in-law; Connie Embry and Peggy Embry, brother and sister, Bob and Val Huber, 13 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. She also has many cousins in Alabama, California, Oregon and Olympia.

Mom and Dad traveled many years in their RV, often to Arizona. They also belonged to a boating club, The Flamingo’s. Favorite destinations were Hawaii and Mexico. We kids kept travel a priority with mom enjoying precious time with her. Laughter wa common especially at bedtime when someone would say something and mom would laugh so hard. Her laughter was contagious so sometimes it would last half hour. Moms favorite thing to do was cook and bake for her family.

Holidays were when she would make everyone's favorite dish. Some dishes she would make 3 versions so those of us didn't get any ingredient we didn't like. Mom loved to please all her kids. Cheryl met Jesus at the age of 5 and was encouraged and loved by the people of God. She attended Bible Study Fellowship, and along with Dad, enjoyed the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Ministry, delivering over 1000 boxes since 1999! Each year Mom went to local highschool DECA classes where so many teachers willingly helped with this project.

Mom previously was a member of NTLC where she taught the toddler class then as a member of True Grace Church, she led weekly women’s bible study alongside women she loved and they loved her! She also served in the widows group and the foodbank.

Mom’s message is to enjoy life, have coffee with a friend, and most importantly learn about God and his Son, Jesus Christ our Savior. “See you at the beautiful river”.
