Edit from Dignity Memorial:
One of seven children of Woodrow and Velma McDonie. She recounted days spent fetching water at the spring, washing clothes on the washboard, sharing a bed with her siblings, long walks to and from school and sneaking past the neighbor's bull to eat apples off the tree in the pasture.
She met her future husband, Junior, as a waitress at a Big Boy restaurant in Michigan, where she had moved to help her sister. They raised their family in Taylor, Michigan until 1995, when Junior retired from Chrysler Corp. to his native Shelby County, Alabama. She was known among friends and family for her country cooking and baking. She felt that God's gift to her was the ability to express her love through feeding others. Cheryl was a member of Maylene Lighthouse Pentacostal Church and was the faith leader of her family.
Cheryl was preceded in death by her husband, James "Junior" Lester Lowery, Jr.; their adopted son, James David Lowery; brothers, Gary McDonie and Franklin "John" McDonie; sister, Rhonda Fisher; sisters-in-law, Mary Lou Farmer, Emma Jean Hucklebee, Jane Johnson and Tillie Ann Jones; and brothers-in-law, Bud Fisher, Auburn Farmer, Albert Hucklebee, Homer Johnson and Frank Jones.
A visitation was held at Rockco Funeral Home (Montevallo) and a funeral service at Maylene Pentacostal Lighthouse.
