She met her future husband, Jimmy while finishing her degree at CSU. He was an Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Mathematics. Cheryl and Jimmy married on September 3,1977, and her dream of having a family was realized upon the birth of their son, Jordan Lee on November 26, 1981. Cheryl was a devoted member of the Church of Christ for over 60 years, and a faithful servant of God. She loved studying the Bible and had a deep understanding of scripture, but even more importantly, she demonstrated God's love through the life she lived. She was a devoted wife and mother. She loved working in her flower beds, watching the birds around the feeders, listening to music, and of course, reading her Bible. Cheryl was proceeded in death by her parents and her older sister, Deborah (Goolsby) Davis of Columbus. She is survived by her husband Jimmy, her son, Jordan, her niece Jessica (Marquette) Davis Dixon, Marquette Dixon Jr., nephews Jerrard Davis (Stephanie) of Oklahoma, Julian Davis, great nephews Julian Davis Jr, John Davis, and Mikayla Davis, great nieces Aniyah Dixon, Moriah Dixon, Josiah Dixon, Jalynne Dixon, and brother-in-law Garnett Davis all of Columbus.
