Cherie lived her life with a full and open heart. She was happiest when she had a house full of family and friends. She was cool, kind, fashionable and funny. There will absolutely never be another soul like hers. She loved us all so fiercely that we could not help but to feel safe in her presence. She was especially proud of her grandchildren and cherished all the times she had with them. In Cherie’s famous words “it’s all good” and “be good to each other”. We will all miss her profound grace, humility, positivity and most of all, her love. To honor Cherie, please donate to either Door CANcer, Inc or Kathy’s House at Froedtert Hospital.
