Cheryl was born on January 27, 1956. For many years, Cheryl was employed with Martin Chevrolet, Millie's Home Furniture, and St. Agnes as a C.N.A. One word to describe Cheryl would be a "caretaker".

She is preceded in death by her mother, Leatrice Broussard Charpentier; step-father, Allen Charpentier; step-mother, Jeanette Blanchard; companion, Roy Benoit; father of her children, Gary "Bimmie" Champagne; niece, Ashley Hebert; and brother-in-law, Ron Hebert.
Before her passing, Cheryl expressed her gratitude and thanks to her sisters, her brother, Danny, her godchild, Katie, and her cousin, Elaine for taking good care of her and being there for her.
Our heart felt appreciation to Hospice of Acadiana for their care, compassion and support provided to the family. Our special thanks to Katie Cormier, Allison Champagne, Carol Jackson, Jennifer Hebert and Edward Johnson.
