Cheri attended Beach Elementary and graduated from Jefferson High School in 1979. Cheryl was employed for over 30 years with USB Forest Service in downtown Portland and retired in 2020. Cheri was the caregiver for her mother for many years. She touched the hearts of many that she met, simply with her kindness, warm smile, and giving spirit. She loved to bake and you were sure to get the best cakes, cookies, and fudge around the holidays. Cheri loved her family and enjoyed planning family reunions and always wanted to make sure there was plenty of food, games and activities for everyone who attended. One of her favorite things to do was to give the kids a little special memento so they could remember the family event with fond memories.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Vernon and Annie Jennings, her brother, Meade Lee Grier Jr., sisters Judith Anne Brooks and Reva Mae Lawrence; nephews Brian Ballard and Terry Grier; niece Hatina Brooks.
She is survived by her brothers Mardas Jennings, James Jennings, and Richard Jennings; a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, along with a large number of close relatives and friends as well as her domestic partner and caregiver Fred Nolan.
Cheri will be greatly missed by all her knew her and we will always remember her infectious laughter.
