Cheryl truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; she regularly enjoyed watching Westerns, collecting owl figurines and spending time with her family. Cheryl was full of spunk and was a “bless your heart” kind of person.

She is also survived by her brothers and sisters, Jerry D. Gardner (Theresa) Randy A. Gardner (Danielle) Linda C. Pender, Stephen N. Gardner, Jaime L. Ketten (Tina), Teresa A. Higgins (Patrick) and David C. Ketten along with a host of nieces, nephews and caring friends that she loved as family.

She was predeceased by her father, John Gardner, her mother, Ruth Ketten, stepfather, Vernon Ketten, brother, Joseph  F. Gardner, sister, Kathryn D. Whetsell, brother-in-law, Francis Whetsell, nephew, Corey Whetsell and sons-in-law, Pat McLaurin and Ross Beasley.
