Cheryl was born on October 12, 1949, in Carthage, New York, a daughter to the late Jack and Emma (Barlow). She attended school in the Carthage area until her family relocated to Riverside, California where she graduated from high school and attended college. Cheryl returned to Carthage, New York, and was later introduced to Peter Leo Rogers, whom she married on April 23, 1977. Through the years Cheryl worked in the private sector, was a public servant, worked with family and friends, and was also an entrepreneur. Cheryl retired from Rocky Top Log Furniture in 2012.
Cheryl can be best described as loving and hardworking. She would climb the mountain top to ensure that the people around her were in a great place, allowing GOD to give her the strength to care for others and putting their needs first. She always would find a way to help others, and her strength and presence will greatly be missed. Cheryl's passions included plants, flowers, and her rock garden. Her grandchildren were the light of her life.
