In Memory Of
Cheryl Anne Speck
1955 - 2021
She was born September 1, 1955 in Ft. Scott, KS to Clayton and Mary (Richards) Stoker. She married Richard Speck on November 29, 1975. Cheryl was a registered nurse for 30 years and was employed by College Park Family Care at the end of her career. She attended St. Luke’s School of Nursing and graduated with a BSN from Graceland University in Lamoni, IA.
Cheryl was a member of Central Community Church of Wichita, Ks. She enjoyed writing, Jazzercise, music, and cats. All her life, she was involved in music – playing the piano in her church and singing in the church choir. She loved to crochet and was a member of a group that made comfort care items for those in need. Cheryl was a natural caretaker with a nurturing, calming spirit. She was especially devoted to her four grandchildren and her old tomcat, Melvin, whom she loved very much.
Cheryl was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband, Rick; children, Colleen (Luke) Waterman, Joel Speck, and Erin (Caleb) Shrout; sister, Bronwen (Tom) Sharp; and grandchildren, Madelyn Shrout, Olivia Shrout, Clayton Waterman and Lincoln Waterman.
