Cherie loved her family and friends unconditionally. She expressed her love through her passion for baking and cooking, always happy to prepare a favorite meal or special treat, even if it wasn’t something she enjoyed herself. Whether it was a yearly birthday treat or a comforting bowl of spaghetti, she did it without hesitation. Her love of flowers was just as remarkable. Cherie always had a special gift for keeping any flower alive and thriving, no matter the conditions, often leaving others wondering how she did it.
Cherie’s greatest joy however was making cherished memories with her friends, family, grandchildren, and great grandson, creating moments that will be treasured by those who knew and loved her.
