Cheryl graduated from Custer High School in 1977 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she was a cheerleader and in Naiada’s, the water ballet team. She graduated from Deaconess Nursing school, also in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Cheryl was a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, specializing in Critical Cardiac Care/ICU and a Travel Nurse to Hawaii, Saudi Arabia and Japan. She had also worked in a burn unit and ER.
Cheryl was a vivacious and adventurous soul. She was born and raised in Wisconsin, she travelled extensively to Hawaii, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Taiwan, Texas, Maryland, Florida, and Mexico to name a few. She had friends in many, many places.
And I ran into her in a work experience 25 years after we graduated and had lost contact so that was very sweet to reunite. I’m so sad to hear that she has passed. I know it’s almost the year anniversary and your hearts are still broken. Know that she was a good friend and an excellent nurse. And so very much fun to be around.
I hope you find peace in your hearts over the loss!
