Obituary of Cheryl Deane Wassink

1950 - 2014

Cheryl was born on June 24, 1950 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cheryl loved her family. She enjoyed watching her grandchildren growing up. She was a Jeopardy fan and a real smarty pants. The Creston Radio Station banned her from their trivia contests, for too many correct answers.

Over the last 11 years, Cheryl struggled with Cancer. She was so brave and strong. Although in pain, she continued to smile and laugh with those around her. She taught children's church and loved it so much.

There are so many family and friends Cheryl enjoyed spending time with, she never had an empty hospital room.
