Cheryl Henderson joined her Heavenly Father on November 6, 2023.  Cheryl was born to Roy Louis Curry Sr. (deceased) and Sharon Brooks Curry on July 24, 1968, in Clewiston, Florida.  After graduating from LaBelle High School, Cheryl went on to work at C & S Bank and the Department of Corrections, prior to moving to Lake Placid, FL in 1998. In Lake Placid, Cheryl worked for Archbold Biological Station and for the past 15 years, she has worked for Lykes Brothers Inc. , most recently as HR Coordinator. When she began working at Lykes, her son was excited as he thought they would be getting free ham.

Curry Jr., father-in-law and mother-in-law Eddie & Sherry Henderson, brother-in-law Travis (Cristy) Henderson, nieces Ashley (Matthew) Howard, Hannah (Xzavior) Davis and nephew, Wyatt Henderson, great nieces Aubrey & Matty May Howard and Alanah & Mazie Davis.  

Cheryl out lived the Moffit Doctor’s expectations, who only gave her 9 months to live in November of 2020, she showed them not to discount her!  A special thanks to Dr. Robert Martin II and all of his staff in Louisville, Kentucky for all that they have done to support Cheryl over the past 3 years and to the staff at Good Shepherd Hospice, The Bud and Donna Somers Hospice House in Sebring, Florida.
