Obituary of Cheryl Kelly

Cheryl Kelly of Williston Park passed Saturday night peacefully surrounded by immediate family after courageously fighting cancer for many years in such a way where her loved ones would never know she was sick. Spouse of Jim Kelly. Loving mother to Brian and Laura. Caring Mother-in-law to Maria & Tony. Amazing Grandmother to Naomi, Daniel, Skylar, Sofia, Jonathan and Alessandra. Beloved sister to Roy. Cheryl was born in Jamaica, Queens to Hugo & Elsie Berberich and grew up in Bellerose, NY. Cheryl graduated from Martin Van Buren High School and worked in the corporate office of Howard Johnson’s, as a stewardess for Seaboard Airlines and ultimately retired from her clerical role at Herricks Middle School to spend more time with her family. Cheryl will be remembered as a wonderful, kind, caring woman who spread joy and happiness to all. She was always filled with positive energy, incredible spirit, loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor. She will be especially missed by her family who cherished the vacations to Sunny Hill, Woodloch, Montauk and the Caribbean with her. She brightened all holidays & family celebrations, making each one incredibly special and filled with love and happiness. Please let her love & kindness continue by sharing any special thoughts and memories of Cheryl on the Tribute Wall.

In lieu of flowers donations to the church would be appreciated.
