Cheryl’s life was characterized by her genuine and appreciative nature. She attributed her many accomplishments to the values instilled in her by her parents, whom she held in high regard. Known for her storytelling prowess, Cheryl lived a fulfilling life marked by travel, laughter, and creating joy for those around her. She never met a stranger and had a talent for connecting with people from all walks of life.

Landry, and her two children: Trisha Mullaney (Dan) of New Freedom, PA, and William “Bill” Allely (Heather) of Wilmington, NC; sister Darlene Schlerf (Mark) of Dunnellon, FL; Grandchildren: Chandler and Mychela Allely of Wilmington, NC and Holly Mullaney of Lancaster, PA., along with many nieces and nephews.
