She had many lifelong friends and she was very fond of her family, being especially proud of her son, Matthew. Her good friend, Eloise Hamilton, was always there for her.
Cheryl is survived by her son, Matthew Dane (Thonotasassa, FL); a sister, Dorothy Dane Swick (Niagara Wheatfield); a sister-in-law, Joanne (Roger) Dane (Williamsville); many nieces and nephews, and many great-nieces and great-nephews.
