I met Cheryl when I started working for Bank of America in 2000. I will remember her as a kind and thoughtful person as well as a smart and strong leader. Even when the situation was stressful, Cheryl kept her wits about her and had a smile in her voice. She will be missed by all who knew her. I hope that time will help ease your pain and that happy memories will help you find peace.

It’s clear from all the stories shared these past few days that her guidance, affection, trust, and engagement deeply touched all of us, with our wide diversity of personalities. We’re all better for having worked with her and known her, she leaves a strong and beautiful legacy through us and how we relate to each other.

I know Cheryl’s smiling down upon them from Heaven. God Bless.

I met Cheryl in late September of 2001 and worked with her for 13 years until I retired. She was one of the most incredible people I have ever known and I am so blessed to have shared so many years with her. A kinder more gentle spirit never walked the Earth. She never had an unkind word to say about anyone regardless of the situation and was incredibly giving. I shall miss her lovely Christmas trees she shared every year and her infectious smile. Her passing has left a deep void in my life and my heart and I shall treasure my time with her all the days of my life.

Damon Hearne, Mooresville, North Carolina, 28117

Mrs. Stumpf and family –

I was shocked to learn of Cheryl’s death. I have memories of being with Cheryl, Kevin at the Lindauers’. My Dad used to do blacksmith work for Louie too. May God bless your family and keep you close.

Julie Lowe Baker, Belleville, IL,

Rick, I was shocked to learn of Cheryl’s passing. We had many great times together and I truly valued her friendship. We hadn’t kept in touch, but I thought of her over the years. Please know you have my deepest sympathy. Cheryl will be missed … she was one in a million!

Pat Shone, St. Louis, MO – Missouri, 63129-3538

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” . These are the words that come to mind when I think of Cheryl for she exemplified all these qualities in the time that I worked with her at Bank of America. She was both a wonderful colleague and a friend to many of us and we will miss her. My deepest sympathy to Rick and her family.

Natasha Long Green , Charlotte, NC, 28215

There is an empty place inside me that Cheryl once filled. I look at my BAC teammates’ comments and see others who feel her loss as deeply as I do. We just worked with her but to us, she so was so much more. Cheryl, with her creative and compassionate spirit inspired us to do more and do it better. If I stumbled or failed, she gave me a hand up, dusted me off, provided tough-love advise and sent me on my way. WWCD…what would Cheryl do? has helped guide me many times.

Rick, I don’t you, but I hope you are comforted by how we all who worked with Cheryl, adored her and will miss her greatly.

Robbin Rothgeb, Huntersville, NC, 28078

Rick, I am so sorry for your loss. I met Cheryl when she was in Word Processing and have valued her friendship throughout the years. She was always so patient, kind, funny, diplomatic, smart and eager to share her knowledge. I think of her every year when the Mt. Vernon Cedarhurst craft fair is advertised, as she was the one to introduce me to it. I feel blessed that we were able to cross paths.
Keeping you and your families in my thoughts and prayers.

Patty Kiely, Florissant, MO, 63031

My thoughts and prayers are with you Rick, and the rest of Cheryl’s family. While I did not work closely with Cheryl, I did see her on web cam, and heard her voice on various calls. She always had a smile in her voice and her kindness and gentle soul preceded her. I know she was extremely talented and valued here at Bank of America, and she will be sorely missed. – Becky Bruning

I didn’t work closely with Cheryl, but her kindness and compassion were self-evident. She touched so many people here at the bank with her thoughtfulness and encouragement. Thinking of all of her family and friends (and Maggie and Emma too) and wishing you comfort…please let others support and take care of you in the days and months to come.

Mark & Kim Forcade, Smithton, illinois,

I cannot claim that I knew Cheryl well, but in my interactions with her as a co-worker and office-mate she was incredibly generous and incredibly kind. I cannot begin to imagine the tremendous grief that her family and close friends must be feeling, but I hope it is tempered by the knowledge that she clearly touched so many people in such positive ways during her life. My thoughts and well-wishes are with you all.

John Shepherd, St Louis, MO, 63116

Dear Rick and family, Although I never knew or worked with Cheryl, I can tell from the other condolence messages that the Bank of America family has lost a wonderful colleague, mentor, and friend, but heaven has gained an incredible angel. May she rest in peace, and may you take comfort in knowing how much she was loved.

Anne Matrone, New York, NY, 10038

Cheryl was someone who consistently brightened your day when you worked with her. She was calm and thoughtful even when the work was hectic and stressful. One day I had the pleasure of learning a little about her love of gardening.
Condolences to Rick and her extended family.

Dia Dissmore, Bellevue, WA, 98004

Rick, I was heartbroken to learn of Cheryl’s passing. We have stayed in touch since I met her in 1982 at the bank. When I didn’t hear from her at Christmas, I started to inquire. As you know, she was a special and wonderful human being. I shall miss her deeply as will all of her friends. You and your family are in my prayers.
