CHERYL MARIE PAGE
"Lil' Bones"

Cheryl M. Page, deeply beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend passed away of natural causes surrounded by her family in the early morning hours of Friday, June 17, 2022. It was her wish to remain in her home, unencumbered by medical devices or interventions, and while the loss of her life was devastating to her husband, children and all who knew her, her comfort and ease in passing was an answer from our Heavenly Father to the innumerable prayers that she be granted the grace to pass in love and peace.

Born to mother Jerry Gallagher and Father Carl Hughes in Casper, Wyoming on October 25, 1950, Cheri spent her childhood growing up in nearly every small frontier town in the state. In 1952, her brother Carl was born, by passed shortly after birth.
Cheri attended and graduated from Rock Springs High School in 1968 and began her college education there before transferring to Weber State College in Ogden, Utah.

Cheri's first husband Paul Holbert was involved in a fatal accident in 1970, and treated at McKay Dee
Hospital in Ogden, Utah where she met and began a lifelong familial relationship with ICU nurse (and
future mother-in-law) Marilyn Smith Page.

Marilyn and husband Reed Jay Page, along with oldest and youngest sons Scott Jay and Gregory George embraced Cheri and provided an environment of love and support following Paul's death and the pregnancy of her first child Trevor Paul Holbert, born on June 15, 1971.

Marilyn and Reed's middle son, Bradley Reed returned from serving an LDS mission in Colorado and New Mexico in February of 1973 and was introduced to the woman he would marry almost exactly six months later on August 23rd, for time and all eternity in the Ogden, Utah temple. Brad formally adopted son Trevor in 1974, the same year he and his beautiful bride welcomed their first daughter Courtney, followed by daughters Merrilee in 1977 and April in 1979.

Cheri lived to create, protect, and unconditionally love the family she had always dreamed of having. Her empathy and kind touch set her apart not only as a mother and a wife, but also as one of the most gifted and talented Phlebotomists working in various hospitals and clinics throughout Utah. She continued working in the medical field until her retirement in 2017.

Her home was the home - and her arms were the arms - that welcomed anyone in need of the warmth and love she unconditionally provided. With the birth of every child, grandchild and great-grandchild, the size of her heart grew exponentially, and in truth, her family extended far beyond the limits of blood relation, as she never turned a soul away that needed a home, mother, or grandmother to love and be loved by in return.

Cheryl is survived by husband Bradley Reed Page, son Trevor Paul Page, daughters Courtney Page
Lewandowski (husband Matthew Lewandowski), Merrilee Page Fairbanks (husband Darin Fairbanks)
and April Page Slaughter, nine grandchildren, six great-grandchildren (with one on the way) and "Bailee Bug," her beloved miniature schnauzer.

A brief viewing will be held at the LDS Chapel located at 11162 North Alpine Hwy, Highland, UT 84003 from 9:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 23, 2022, followed by a family prayer with funeral services to follow from 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. An intimate graveside service will then be conducted at the Highland City Cemetery at 1:00
p.m.

We as a family would like to personally thank the staff of the Warenski Funeral Home in American Fork, Utah for the level of professionalism, compassion and care they've provided to not only our beautiful mom, but our family as a whole at this difficult time.
