Cheryl was a light in this world, brighter than any star and guided just as many or more people than the stars you could count in the sky. She was a loving mother and grandmother she nurtured many. Her nurturing didn't only extend to her biological family members, her loving spirit was extended to anyone she considered her chosen family. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was always the life of the party and ready to have fun and a good time. So many people gravitated towards her and her love of life. When she walked in the room her presence was bigger than she was, in all the best ways. She loved dancing and would never turn down a BINGO game or the slot machines! She will be missed by many.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at 10:00 AM in the Memorial Funeral Home, 375 Broadway, Newport, RI. Visiting hours will immediately follow until 2:00 PM in the funeral home. Burial will be private.
