Born in Boston, Cheryl was a long-time resident of Millbury until a recent move to Benchmark Senior Living at Shrewsbury Crossings.  She was a beloved preschool teacher for many years.  She was active in the Millbury community, serving on the Millbury Historical Society and as a member of the Millbury chapter of Dollars for Scholars.  She enjoyed spending time with her dog, Ziggy, watching movies, reading, gardening, camping at Manchaug Pond, sewing and crafting, and having a cup of tea or playing cards/board games with family and friends.  She appreciated the new community that she had found at Shrewsbury Crossings and expressed deep gratitude to the medical professionals who had cared for her over the course of her illness.

Per Cheryl’s wishes, there will be no service or reception.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Millbury Historical Society (www.millburyhistory.org) or Millbury Dollars for Scholars (https://millbury.dollarsforscholars.org).  To visit Cheryl’s memorial page please visit: www.mulhane.com
