Cherryl was an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary and proudly served as President in Odessa, Texas. She had a creative spirit and enjoyed crocheting, and she dearly loved her dogs and all animals. A devoted country music fan, Cherryl especially enjoyed attending concerts featuring Merle Haggard, Dale Watson, Johnny Lee, and Mickey Gilley.
