CHERYL A. FOWLER (nee Thomas) age 69, beloved wife of the late Larry; loving mother of Daniel (wife Dana), Ryan (wife Marissa) and Chelsea Hall (husband Dalton); devoted grandmother of Adalyn Hall, Reagan, Eleanor and Talan Fowler; cherished daughter of the late Alton and Esther (nee Petersen) Thomas; dearest sister of Marilyn Moe (husband Roger) and the late Ellamae Ashby (husband Herb); dear sister-in-law, aunt and friend of many; Cheryl is survived by her loving canine companions Rosco, Bernie and Buff.

Cheryl was born on June 22, 1956, in Cleveland, Ohio and passed away unexpectedly on June 20, 2026. Cheryl grew up in Wickliffe and graduated from Wickliffe High School in 1974. She dedicated many years of her career to serving her community as a school bus driver before sharing her leadership skills as the Head of Transportation for the West Geauga School District.

Beyond her career, Cheryl had a vibrant spirit and a deep appreciation for the classics. She was a familiar, smiling face at car shows and was proudly involved in several organizations throughout her life, including the National Nomad Club, Northern Ohio Chevy Club, and Tri-Five Chevy Club. Cheryl loved her cars, her beloved companions, and most of all spending her time with family, friends and her grandkids.

A devoted fan of Bruce Springsteen, Cheryl brought warmth, laughter, and kindness wherever she went. She was known for being social, loving, laid-back, generous, and giving, with a wonderful sense of humor and a knack for making those around her feel welcome. Above all, Cheryl was deeply devoted to her family and treasured the time she spent with them.

Cheryl's legacy of love, generosity, and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched.
