CHERYL ANN ALEXANDER
Cheryl Ann Alexander, 51, after a courageous three-year battle with cancer, did not awaken from a peaceful sleep on Wednesday morning, Aug. 17, 2005, in her Janesville home.
Cheryl is survived by her husband Eugene Alexander; her son Justin West, wife Laura, and grandchild Jordyn, of Las Vagas, Nev.; and siblings Cathy Meeks, Michael, Gary and Bradley Hoover. All were greatly loved by her.
She was preceded in her death by father Ralph Eugene Hoover, of Oklahoma; mother Mary Katherine Elizabeth Day, of California; and siblings Bobby and Brian.
Cheryl Ann Hoover entered this world on July 21, 1954.
At that time neither the family, nor the world at large, knew the pleasure she would bring to those who came to know her.
She enjoyed her family to the utmost. Loyal and supportive through all the ups and downs that every family experiences, Cheryl was the constant reminder that a positive attitude and a well-timed smile could sooth the soul and smooth the bumpy roads in their lives.
She asked for little and needed little to make her happy.
Cheryl is best remembered for being easily embarrassed, her face turning beautiful shade of red each time.
If you didn't notice this you could always hear her little girl laugh.
It was an infectious laugh that made those around her want to join in.
Cheryl was a proud and happy mother for her son, Justin.
She reveled at being a T-ball coach for his team.
Never failing to be supportive of his achievements, Cheryl also guided him with love and affection in teaching him to persevere and learn from each mistake.
The addition of his wife Laura and a grandchild Jordyn into her life was the greatest joy for her.
The people in the Janesville area who came to know her discovered a woman of sincere compassion, a ready smile, and a quick wit.
Cheryl was at her happiest with a house full of people.
No one felt alone in her presence.
She deeply cared for all of her friends and never spoke an unkind word about them.
With an initial trepidation and apprehension, Cheryl learned to enjoy traveling with her husband Eugene Alexander.
Together, and with good friends, they shared the experiences of her first airplane ride, train travel, fifth wheel camping, and hundreds of hours in an automobile visiting family and friends.
She will be deeply missed by all who had the joy to know and love her.
Final farewell will be held at 4 p.m., Aug. 26, 2005, at Diamond Crest Cemetery, Susanville.
