Cheryl Lynn McCollum

Cheryl was born in Eureka, California on May 21, 1956 to parents Troy and Carol Bennett Dodson. She was raised and educated in Riverside County, California. Cheryl moved to Visalia in her mid 20’s to make her home and raise her family. She attended Neighborhood Church in Visalia. Cheryl worked at K-Mart as Service Desk Supervisor for over twenty years. Shel was a loving and kind caregiver for her mother, Carol. She was a very loving and caring lady to anyone she met and would give you her last dollar. Cheryl was an animal lover and was always rescuing and feeding strays and she loved birds. Cheryl’s greatest enjoyment in life was her children and grandchildren. Her daughters remember her as a goofy and silly grandma who loved to get down in the floor to play with her 16 grandchildren. Cheryl’s favorite thing to say to her family was “Moon and Stars”. Her daughters and their families loved to play pranks on her at every opportunity. Cheryl will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her father, Troy, two brothers, Roger and Chuck Little and her sister Cindy Shirley. In 2016 Cheryl lost her beloved daughter Angela Marie Brown.
