She accepted an invitation for a blind date through her friend and boyfriend. Cheryl and Dennis had a date in April 1964 until their marriage on October 30, 1966, and moved to Omaha where she worked for several companies. Her last employment was with an engineering firm where she worked for 33 years until her retirement.

Cheryl was also active in many political functions, enjoyed going to many concerts locally and in Branson. Cheryl loved hummingbirds, giraffes and Precious Moments figurines.
