During her 73 years, she touched many lives with her smile & joyful spirit. She had a vivacious personality like bubbles in champagne – sparkly and effervescent! She was loving, caring, & always happy for everyone’s accomplishments. She welcomed everyone into her life with open arms, along with all the neighborhood cats. Cherie devoted herself to her family, showering them with love & care. She was cherished by family & friends alike. Once a friend always a friend.
