Obituary of Cheryl Reese

The family of Cheryl Reese sadly announce her passing on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina. She was fifty-eight years of age. A Visitation will take place on Thursday, February 14 at 2:00pm at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre. The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, February 15 at 1:00pm at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre. Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society as gifts of remembrance. Cheryl was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba on December 25, 1960 to Dennis and Verna (nee Krochak) Reese. She fell suddenly ill in December 2018 and passed away from cancer on February 9, 2019 with family by her side. Early childhood saw her move to Yorkton and attend Angus Spice elementary, St. Joseph's Jr High, and the Regional High school. Cheryl took a secretarial course at the local community college. Cheryl briefly moved to Regina and returned to Yorkton before her beloved son, Justin was born in 1983. Cheryl was a stay-at-home mom until Justin started school. Her career included retail at Red Apple, customer service at Superstore, and changed to housekeeping at what is now the Quality Inn. An avid reader, Cheryl loved to get lost in her mystery books. She also enjoyed movies, going out with friends and sipping a good cup of coffee. She was a talented crochet artist and also loved cross-stitching. Let's not forget the colour purple! How she loved it! But her favorite thing in the whole world was spending time with her son and best friend, Justin. She was so proud of him. Cheryl will be remembered for her outgoing, honest, and tell-it-like-it-is personality. She loved to laugh, was generous, and would have given the shirt off her back to anyone who needed it, and felt like she had a psychic ability. Her secret wish of winning the lottery never came true because she failed to buy a ticket. We will greatly miss her sparkling eyes and warm heart. Cheryl is predeceased by her grandparents John (1992) and Nellie (Berladyn) Krochak (1990); brother, Randy Reese (2016); stepfather, Peter Dobko (2005); uncles Jerry Krochak (2006), Stan Krochak (2009) and Len Haller (2014); and cousin Dwayne Krochak (2012). She leaves to mourn her mother, Verna Dobko; son, Justin Reese; sister-in-law, Susan Reese and nephew, Liam Reese of Sioux Falls, SD; brother, Al Dobko; and sister, Cynthia (Kevin) Nelson of Saskatoon and many more family, friends, and co-workers who were part of her life.
