She remained in Abilene, Texas and attended Abilene high school. Cheryll was one of a kind and if you had the pleasure of being in her presence then no need for explanation. Cheryll was straight to the point and at times had no filter. This made her Ann! She was also nurturing, funny, compassionate and would give you her last and always make a way. Most of all she was a divine cook. From oxtail, enchiladas, banana pudding, to some cow tongue, literally whatever you wanted she would make, and it would be to die for. Cheryll was a true representation of not letting your past define you. She made amends with the lord and herself. She strived to not be perfect but the best version of herself and was a true inspiration.
