Cheryl Sue Harmon, known affectionately as Cheryl to her friends and family, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2024, at the age of 63, in Ocala, Florida. Born on November 18, 1961, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Cheryl lived a life marked by joy, kindness, and an unwavering spirit of optimism.

Cheryl's early years in Cincinnati laid the foundation for a life filled with love for literature, culinary arts, and the simple pleasures of everyday life. Her passion for reading was evident to all who knew her, as she could often be found with a book in hand, lost in the worlds between the pages. Cheryl's love for cooking shows reflected her appreciation for the creativity and craft of the culinary world, and she never missed an episode of her favorite soap opera, "General Hospital," which provided her with endless entertainment and conversation topics.

The light of Cheryl's life was undoubtedly her beloved fur babies—six cats whom she cherished and cared for with the utmost love and affection. They were her constant companions, and their playful antics brought her immense joy and laughter. Cheryl's nurturing nature extended beyond her pets to her family and friends, whom she loved deeply and with whom she shared the happiest moments of her life.

Cheryl is survived by her devoted sister, Carol Perry, and her brother, Spencer Davis. She was a cherished aunt to her nephew, Dustin Perry, and his wife, Callie, as well as a doting great aunt to Gibson Perry. Her family was her anchor, and she relished the time spent shopping, dining out, and creating memories with her sister, Carol. Cheryl's presence will be profoundly missed by her numerous cousins, extended family, and a wide circle of friends, all of whom were touched by her radiant personality and generous heart.

Those who knew Cheryl will remember her as a beacon of happiness and a true friend who could always be counted on for a kind word or a listening ear. Her outgoing nature and positive outlook on life were infectious, and she had the rare ability to uplift everyone around her. Cheryl's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the enduring power of positivity.

As we bid farewell to Cheryl, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life filled with joy, friendship, and the pleasures of the everyday. We take comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in the stories we share, the books we read, and the love we carry in our hearts for her. Cheryl Sue Harmon's memory will forever be treasured as a source of light and inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know her.

In honor of Cheryl's remarkable life, her family will come together in a private gathering to share memories and honor her memory. We take solace in the knowledge that Cheryl's kind soul has found peace, and while she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit continues to shine brightly in the lives she has touched.
