Cheryl Cole
Jan. 2, 1956 – Jan. 25, 2020
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Our Cheryl loved life. She got excited over the simplest things: parties, holidays, dressing in silly costumes, camping, eating out.
She loved the quiet of her home too: watching the lake, the birds, snuggling.
Her heart belonged to God, but she shared her love with family and anyone lucky enough to have met her.
As administrator of Meadowood SNF, she loved her job, her patients, her staff. She always found the best people and inspired all of us to do better.
She requested a celebration of life; the date will be announced at a later date.
