Cheryl Noel Gerry

Born April 1, 2000 to Joseph and Jennifer (Noel) Gerry, she was a fighter from the moment she took her first breath until she took her last. Born with Severe Cerebral Palsy, she was denied the chance to live a “normal” life, but her parents and family made it as normal as possible. From the many trips to Disney World to seeing her favorite Mouse, professional baseball games, zoos. Museums, trips to visit family and friends and countless football, baseball, and basketball games her brothers participated in she loved it all. She loved Mickey Mouse and anything Disney. She loved listening to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. She had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh that you could not help but to laugh right along with her.
