Cheri had worked as an Activity Director for local nursing homes. She was dedicated to helping others through volunteer work and contributing to various endeavors. Cheri's appreciation for the outdoors and her artistic flair were evident in her bright and creative paintings, which adorned many objects. Together with David, she was a member of the Studebaker Club, and she also enjoyed taking her beautifully restored Ford Coupe for a drive. Cheri's love for music and her guitar was a constant source of inspiration for her. She delighted in karaoke singing and frequently shared her musical talents with nursing home residents, filling many hours with mutual joy and smiles. A longtime member of Shiloh Church of Christ in Louisville, her faith was the cornerstone of her life. Cheri's family, especially her sons and grandchildren, were her greatest joy and source of pride, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
