Cheri Kay’s passions were her church, family, students, and community. She served faithfully as a member of Crowder Baptist Church for over 60 years. In her career she taught middle and high school science courses and home economics for 32 years.

Cheri Kay loved the Crowder community. A gifted cook, she often blessed others through treats and meals. No one in her immediate and extended families, church family, or community doubted her passion by her living witness of the love her Heavenly Father had shown her.
