Cheryl was born in 1949 to James and Jenny Dillon on November 10th. She went to Southeast High School and graduated in 1967. She went on to earn an associate degree in art/ History from Jacksonville, Florida. She worked as an office manager for Fox Dental Office for many years. This aligned with her greatest job of being a devoted military wife during her husband’s service in both the Navy and the Army. She enjoyed creating personalized cards on her computer for family and, of course, going to the beach, her favorite place. She received many awards, but her prized possession was her Home Economics Gold Cup trophy.
