Cheryl Lorraine (Hearn) Michels was born April 15, 1943 in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of William Hearn and Elizabeth Hearn. She loved Jesus, her family, her friends and Elvis. Cheryl adored her husband Gary Michels and often spoke of how these past years with him were the best of her life. She had a special bond with her best friend Genny Bolsenga and loved shopping, having lunch and going to the movies together. Cheryl also loved dancing with her husband, brothers and friends to oldies and gospel music. She spent most of her life to the service and care of others as an Activity Director to the elderly for 33 years. Cheryl even won an award for Best Activity Director for the State of Texas and was always selflessly giving of her time. She had a passion for gardening and prayer. It wasn’t unusual to find prayer lists in her handwriting scattered throughout the house on paper, envelopes, napkins, cards or anything she could find. She prayed constantly for others and her one hope was that everyone would find and accept a relationship with Jesus Christ. Cheryl will be missed and forever loved in the hearts of those who knew her.
Cheryl is preceded in death by her parents; siblings, Judy Benner, Alan Hearn, Don Wise; and sons, Mark Jackson and Luke Garrison.
She is survived by her loving husband; siblings, Phil Hearn, Mel Hearn, Mary Lou Rogers; children, John Jackson and wife Fusae, Lorrie Fox and husband Terry, Cheryl Hope and husband Jacob, Nyla Capeheart and husband Darren; daughter-in-law, Lisa Garrison and step-sons Tim Michels and wife Patti, and Scott Michels and wife Rhonda. She cherished her grandchildren, Eve Jackson, Sean Jackson, Maya Nguyen, Aaron Jackson, Sarah Jackson, Yusuke Jackson, Tony Fox, Eric Fox, Courtney Walthall, Tara Fox, Justyn Booth, Ryan Jackson, Leslie Jackson, Dylan Jackson, Destiny Garrison, Seth Garrison, Nathan Lueras, Allanee Hope, Genesis Capeheart, Easter Capeheart, Noel Capeheart, Fisher Capeheart and Sparrow Capeheart, as well as her many great-grandchildren.
