In 2005, she and her husband bought their first home and moved the family to Keller, Texas. This is where they have lived happily the last 11 years with their two dogs, turtles, cats and any other creatures they could find. Cheryl loved her “secret garden”, caring for plants, sitting in the pool and hosting parties in their backyard.
After the move to Texas, she loved returning home to Santa Barbara to visit old friends, family and put her toes in the sand while watching the sunset. Cheryl will be remembered for her free spirit, loving personality, dedication to helping others and her love for party planning, music and dancing.
