So sorry for your loss. We didn't hear in time to come in person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rick & Deb Larson

Cheryl was still "Miss" St. Germain when she was my homeroom teacher at Taft. I wondered about her very recently and am very saddened by her passing. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Please accept our condolences at the passing of a wonderful woman who had a profoundly positive effect on all who knew her. She did much in her life and left many with great memories, many of which we knew of through the friends you both made. God's blessings.

Richard and family, We were so sorry to learn of Cheryl's illness and now her passing. We know she loved you all very much! Rich, your love for your wife and family was always very evident! No words can soften the heartache of losing her at such a young age. May your faith in Jesus Christ and His resurrection allow you to look forward to some day being reunited with her! Our sincerest condolences.

Cheryl was a great person, teacher, coach, teammate and friend. I enjoyed playing for her at Taft and then having her as a softball teammate in Women’s League. I have several fond memories! My deepest condolences to Cheryl’s Family and other friends!

Saddened to hear of Cheryl's passing. Deepest sympathies go out to my friend and co-worker Rich and family. May the Good Lord watch and keep you all.

So sorry to learn of Cheryl's passing. I graduated in her class and she was always involved in all reunions. She always had a smile and a high "zest for life" ! Just glad that I got a glimpse of her personality at the many reunions. You did good and great things while here Cheryl. We will be remembering you at next year's reunion! My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. And they DO snow ski in heaven Cheryl. Enjoy!

I was so saddened to hear of Mrs. VanZile's passing. I have so many find memories of her teaching me 8th grade Language Arts, 30 years ago. When I think back to my favorite teachers who really influenced my life, she would top the list. I also think she is one of the teachers I most connected with on a personal level. She will be missed.

Condolences to the Van Zile family. Loved ones seem to be taken to early. Take care.

Cheryl was a 68 Jefferson graduate,cheerleader and fine teacher. A great person to have in our school system. Cheryl and I had classes together at Truman State and she was always such a kind and considerate person. I'm proud to call her a friend and my sympathy goes out to her family and friends.

I really enjoyed working with Cheryl. I thought she was very good with kids and always very professional. A very classy lady. I'm sorry she is no longer with us. Take care.

I am so sorry! I graduated from Jefferson High School with her. She was such a great person. I will be praying for her family. Sincerely, Pat Ports
