Cheryl Ann Garvin, 60, passed quietly away at her home on Monday, Jan. 19, 2015. Cheryl was the mother of two sons: Eric and Shawn; grandmother to six children: Eric, Tyler, Brandon, Scotty, Chance, and Sean (Sissy); and mother-in-law to two daughters, Alicia and Kasey Garvin.
Cheryl moved to the Grand Coulee area in 1974 with her parents, Tom and JoAnn Garvin. She worked at various places, including; Vordahl's, the liquor store, 1-hour photo, David Comrie Licensing, Tri-County Licensing, and the U.S. Postal Service. Cheryl knew many wonderful people and shared her life, children, and grandchildren with everyone who walked into her offices. Enshrined on her wall were photos and news clippings of her most cherished people.
Cheryl's hobbies included watching NASCAR races, following the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Seattle Seahawks, Tuesday meals with friends, supporting her sons and grandchildren in their various sporting events, and school fundraising. Cheryl was also the class advisor for the Lake Roosevelt Class of 2016. Cheryl had many other surrogate grandchildren in the community who she also made time for; attending their sporting events and always bringing snacks for the kids that ran around the softball, football fields and gymnasiums. She always supported the local teams, sporting her school colors in the many hoodie sweatshirts and tee-shirts that she wore. She was a true fan and will be greatly missed at all of the sporting events.
Cheryl will be laid to rest with her father, mother and brother at Spring Canyon Cemetery at a later date. She is survived by her sisters, Connie Fauble (Louisville, Ken.) and Cindi Boyd (Sumner, Wash.); her sons, Eric Garvin (Bonney Lake, Wash.) and Shawn Garvin (Coulee Dam, Wash.); and six grandchildren: Eric, Brandon, Scotty Garvin and Tyler, Chance, and Sean Garvin.
