Cheryl grew up in eastern Tennessee and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where she worked in retail for Leather and Wood for many years.

She enjoyed reading, watching sunsets at the ocean, going to movies, watching cartoons, and all things supernatural. She was also a very proud YaYa to her grandsons. Cheryl was a massive fan of Sting's music.
