Obituary
Cheryl Ann Farmer was born October 13, 1951 to Herman and Estelle Farmer in Chicago, Illinois. She departed this life on June 3, 2021 following an extended illness. Cheryl was the seventh of eight siblings in the Farmer family. Cheryl was educated in the Chicago public school system. She seized the opportunity to train as a Respiratory Therapist in her twenties, which launched an early career working for Rush Medical Center in Chicago. She truly enjoyed her work and social life.

Health issues dictated an abrupt career change, and challenges to her work life. In spite of those challenges, Cheryl managed to live quietly and consistently on her own, and close to family. She loved dressing up and keeping up with the latest fashions. In addition to her love for fashion, she was also an excellent baker, she made the best homemade Blackberry pies! She also enjoyed sewing and occasionally visiting with her sisters and their families in Chicago, Kansas City, M0, and Centreville, VA. She was a faithful member of Apostolic Church of God in Chicago under the leadership and guidance of Dr. Byron T. Brazier.

Preceding Cheryl in death are her parents Herman and Estelle, oldest brother Herman Lee, youngest sibling Michael, her first born daughter Kimberly Denise, brother Howard (Ernestine), sisters Maxine Jones and Virginia Hams-Sage; niece LaTonya Hams, nephews Kenneth Jones, Darryl Hams (Tiffany), Pierre Hams and grand-nephew Jonathan McCoy.

Left to mourn her absence are three sons Erick Farmer (Amanda), Jason, and Edward, two grandchildren; Neiko and Nyah Farmer, two siblings, Ernest Farmer (Mary) and Jeanette Howard (Prince).She will also be dearly missed by nieces Yasmin Hams, Shicagolyn Scroggins, Shellene Rose (Don), Angela McCoy (Darrell), Antoinette Nix (Daryl), Alnisha Maniaci (Michael) and nephews Marcus Young (Leigha) and Ernest Farmer, Jr. Not at all least, she shall be missed by a host of beloved nieces and nephews. May she rest in peace.

Hi Sis:
I really miss you! Since your transition, it seems memories of you have visited upon me every day. Some were funny, some left me amazed at all the things we went through, and some have me wishing for do-overs! Rest in peace, dear sister.

My Dearest Auntie
  I will always remember your free and loving spirit which you passed on to your son Eric. I remember the many times you baked me cookies against my fathers wishes. I recall hurrying home because I knew you would have a treat for me. This experience I share with my youngest daughter Arora who bakes the cookies for me and every time i get a home made chocolate chip cookies I will smile an remember you.

To my loving Aunt Cheryl, you were always the one with the best laughs and experiences growing up. Whenever we visited Chicago every summer, it was Cheryl who always gave us a good and happy time. I do remember one time we was watching a real scary movie Called "Haunted House on the Hill and I went into the kitchen and there was this cat in the window with green eyes it somehow got into the kitchen and me, Tiny, Shacky and Cheryl was screaming and woke up the whole house and of course you know the rest, our butts was burned up from a whooping, but when I look back, it was so funny. When Cheryl visited KC, I always gave her something beautiful to take home because she was a beautiful soul, Cheryl may You rest in Beautiful Peace, in God our Father's hands.

❤️One of my favorite memories of my Auntie was when I was 9 years old and in the 3rd grade at Manierre Elementary School. There was a group of girls at school who were considered ‘Bad’ and they wanted to fight me, basically jump on me. I told them that I was going to get my big sister on them and they said, what’s her name and I said Cheryl. Because I had a big sister, they then asked me if I wanted to join them and I said yes. 

I couldn’t wait to get home and tell Momma…as I told my story, she stopped me and said, you don’t have a big sister. I said well, who is Cheryl and she said, “she is my little sister and your Auntie”. Okay, I never knew that until then…she lived with us, so how was I supposed to know, I was just a kid…you know they didn’t tell us nothing back then, lol! 

I love all my uncles and aunties, but Cheryl will forever be my big sister…Love and miss you Auntie!❤️

Dearest Cheryl:
Our sorrow is immeasurable. We miss you!  Yet we also know that the Lord knows best and He has called you to rest.  He says: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest… and peace that surpasses all understanding". We are comforted dear sister, that you now are in the Master’s hand. We shall cherish loving memories of you always.

We have been looking for Cheryl for some time now..wondering is she’s ok! And to find you pass has really broke my heart.You will truly be missed by me my kids and my father 

One day…

June 27, 2021
I found a $20 bill wrapped in a piece of paper in my mailbox, it was from my Auntie Cheryl. I called her and told her she didn’t ever have to pay me back and she said she wanted too and she had did that weeks ago.  I said, okay, I will give it back to you when I see you, within 30 minutes, she was at my door, we both fell out laughing❤️❤️❤️

Shellene, are you home?

June 27, 2021
Auntie was forever stopping by my house.  I am not one of those people who, if you ring my bell, I would just automatically let you in.  If I wasn’t expecting you, I would not answer the door or let you in !

Auntie would always stop by especially after church.  That bell would ring and by the time, I get downstairs and look out the window by the door, that person would be gone.  I go to the last window and I would see Auntie and you know how fast she walked, then I go to the door and yell her name and here she comes back.  We would laugh and I say, “Cheryl where’s your phone and she would say I called you”, but of course, my phone would be in my purse or by my bed with ringer off, lol.  Never fails, when Momma was here, she would stay with Momma, priceless!  I would always say, “are y’all talking about me and Momma would say “yeah” but Cheryl would always say they were not, and they couldn’t stop laughing ❤️!
