Cheryl Wright Obituary
Handy and artistic, Cheryl had many creative outlets, including cake decorating, jewelry making, painting, and needlework. An ambitious DIYer, she once poured her own concrete pool deck and climbed on the roof of a second-story barn in order to paint. She enjoyed impromptu road trips, beachcombing, antiquing, and gardening, and she usually had a large black Dunkin' Donuts coffee in her hand while doing any of it. Her professional life was equally varied, including time spent as a school bus driver, a paralegal, and a private flight coordinator.
In addition to her husband, Cheryl is survived by her brother Doug King of Seattle and his family, her daughters Wendy, Chrissie, and Laura and their families, including four beloved grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Services will be private.
