Cherryl spent 33 years building a life and creating memories with Nathan Bell III She nurtured those around her with kindness, love, and an unwavering spirit. Her smile could light up a room, and she had a compassionate nature, an unconditional love for children and an unwavering love for butterflies, her spirit animal.
