Cheryl loved to gather women together and talk about God. She had several hobbies over the years like jewelry making and resin work. Her ongoing hobby was cleaning house and loving her pets. Her dog Cass, her cat Handsome Henry, and granddogs Orco and Macy, all knew her love well.

Her passion though was love.  She loved with her whole heart and it’s what drew people to her. They knew they could confide in her and she would spark conversations with anyone, anywhere.  She was such a strong person in people’s lives that many called her Mom and she loved them all as if they were her children.

She is survived by her husband Albert John Parks III, sons Albert John Parks IV and his wife Kristy, Chris Parks and his wife Miriam, grandchildren Sierra, Madison, Bailey, Melinda and Evan John. She is also survived by her brother Fred Sekot and sister Shelly Allebach and her mom Ricki Sekot.
