Personal Information

Cheryl's time away from work is spent with her husband, Randy and Maltese dog, Shakespeare as well as many stolen moments with her daughters and their families. She loves to travel and enjoys many hobbies such as sewing, quilting, sweepstaking (this is more of an obsession!) and working with power tools. Cheryl's goal is to get in as many fun experiences as possible before she dies. Therefore, she has just finished her scuba diving lessons and is getting ready for her motorcycle classes. Party on!
