Cheryl was known for having a heart of gold. She was vivacious, caring, humorous, and gave unselfishly. If you needed employment, she hired you. If you were hungry, without a doubt you would be fed. She was a phenomenal woman that loved to cook lots of traditional Guyanese cuisine to share with family and friends. Cheryl lit up whenever she talked about her children and grandchildren. Her life’s purpose was for her children to be successful and raise their children right. This was echoed frequently to family and friends.  She was a generous giver who gave her last to see others happy.  She was a Servant’s Heart. Cheryl was a committed mother to her children and grandchildren. She was a great aunt to her nieces and nephews. She was the sounding board for her siblings, friends, sisters, and brothers-in-law. They shared an unbreakable bond filled with memories from being in Guyana and the United States.
