							To say that Cherri was “Crafty” would 
							be an understatement; she mastered the arts of 
							painting, sewing, knitting, crochet, cross stitch, 
							and quilting. She took pride in her work and would 
							often donate her creations to friends and relatives.
							
 A celebration of Cherri’s life will be held at a 
							later date. Cremation rites have been entrusted to 
							Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home, Lincoln, IL.
