While working as a strings teacher, and strings supervisor for Jackson Public School District, she established a strings program for Hinds County School District. Cheryl also worked as a professional musician providing accompaniment to many prominent musical groups. She took great pride in instilling a love of music in her students. Innately benevolent, she received her greatest joy doing for others, and identified her family as her ultimate source of happiness. Those who had the opportunity to meet Cheryl are truly blessed, as her positive spirit is contagious. Her glass was always half full. Her spirit lives on in the warmth of the sun caressing your face, the natural fragrance of sweetheart roses, and the delicate beauty of hummingbirds and butterflies as they traverse your path.
