Cheryl is survived by her loving husband, James Bryant, residing in Dunnellon, Florida. Over nearly five decades of marriage, they created a lifetime of cherished memories, anchoring their family with strength, love, and grace.
She was a devoted mother survived by her daughters Shannon (Billy) Spears and Jaimmie (Christopher) Howes.

A talented craftswoman, Cheryl poured her heart into every creation, reflecting her impeccable attention to detail. From hand-stitched quilts to intricate scrapbooks, she left pieces of herself in every corner of her home and in the homes of those she loved. Those who have been gifted her handcrafted treasures will forever have a piece of Cheryl’s spirit with them.
Cheryl’s legacy is not only in the crafts she left behind but in the lessons, she imparted and the love she shared. Her emphasis on the importance of family, the joy she found in the simple moments, and her keen attention to the details of life have left indelible marks on all who had the privilege to know her.
A memorial service celebrating Cheryl’s life will be held at a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to a charity supporting crafting education for children, continuing Cheryl’s legacy of creativity.
