She shared her love for her family with everyone she met - whether it was her love for her present family or those from the past. Cheryl had a passion for genealogy work and enjoyed teaching and sharing with others the importance of family history. Cheryl loved family history so much that it extended into her volunteering at the Beaver Creek State Park from early 1990's - 2000 where Cheryl was a tour guide for the Grandma Williams House.

Cheryl loved the Savior Jesus Christ, and her membership in His church where she willingly served in many different callings over the years. She had a desire to shine as an example of Christ's love through all of whom she served.

Cheryl was a talented artist, avid reader, genuinely had a green thumb for gardening, and was a skilled knitter. She spent many decades making different knitted items for family and friends, which will now remain as treasured keepsakes for her future posterity.
