Cheryl Ann Gravel

1951-2022

Cheryl was beautiful and intelligent; to know Cheryl was to love her. Her smile and sparkling blue eyes lit up a room, and she always had such a warm, inviting attitude.

Loyalty, honesty, grace, perseverance, and wisdom are just a few of Cheryl’s attributes. She was known to become best friends to those she briefly knew, and they would look up to her for her words of advice and encouragement. She was also the best secret keeper for all who confided in her. There are no words to describe the profound loss for our family.

She was adventurous and always ready to try new things such as zip lining and parasailing. She was very active and fit and enjoyed attending boot camp with her husband. She loved hiking, reading and traveling and we can’t forget her love of chocolate. Her family will always remember the delicious desserts she made with love for family gatherings.
