A Daughter, A Sister, An Aunt, A Cousin, A Family member, A Friend. No matter what she meant to you, you never had to question her love. No matter what she gave, you know it came from her heart. No matter what you were doing, she made sure to be present and enjoy the moment.

Cheryl, age 56, went home to be with the Lord on Friday January 29, 2021 at the Riverside Methodist Hospital. Cheryl attended Brookhaven HS and obtained her Associates Degree in Dietetic Technician from Columbus Technical Institute.

She was a very devoted member of Columbus Christian Center, under the leadership of Dr. David C. Forbes, Jr., where she became active in various ministries. She served as a Church Greeter, and also served in Gods Hand Ministry, which distributes food to the community every 3rd Saturday of the month; all because she had a Christians heart for serving others. Some of the passions she had was investigating Genealogy; family was very important to her. She also enjoyed spending time learning about the history of the Underground Railroad. Working with Food Pantries and Senior Citizens helped her with the beautiful, unique, spirit of giving to others, even when she was never asked. She was a true example of a Christian/Disciple we should all strive to be. She also had a strong passion for baking and shopping.

She also leaves a niece, Jontunika (Derrick) Bailey and a nephew, Lawrence Brown II. She always felt as if she was their 2nd mother, and she was also very proud and supportive of all their accomplishments. She also leaves a grandmother, Lillian Lewis. There was a very special close friend she leaves to cherish Minister Linda Taylor. She also has a host of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that she will also leave.

    I send my deepest condolences to the Brown family in Cheryl’s passing. My first time seeing Cheryl was in passing over 18 years ago coming in and out the front doors of ODH.

    I’ll never 4get Cheryl, as she was my Sister-in-Christ.

    May God comfort you during this difficult season.
