Obituary of Cheryl Gay O'Lenic
Please share a memory of Cheryl to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Cheryl Gay O'Lenic passed away on August 1st, 2020, in her home surrounded by family. Cheryl will be remembered always by her family and loving friends. She is survived by her daughters Lauren and Elizabeth, their father Rob, grandsons Nicholas and Henry; sister Darlene and brother in-law Don Cose; nephews Dale and Greg Cose; and lifelong best friend from Linda Wilson.
She was born in Los Angeles to hard working North Dakota natives Violet Berge, a lively entrepreneur, and Loyal Ukestad, a jack of all trades. She moved to the Pacific Northwest after attending Cal State Long Beach and marrying Rob in Redlands, California.
Cheryl was known for having an enthusiastic and passionate personality, easily excited about life and quick to share a personal story with great detail- especially if the memory included food. The beach and camping were her special places. Her great joys were to help others through her work with disabled people and volunteering, her garden in which she spent much time with flowers, berries and bees, and her energetic grandsons. Her thoughtfulness and love was felt by everyone she cared for. To know her was to feel loved. She will be greatly missed.
A service will be planned at a later date by the family.
