Cheryl Sanchez Obituary

Cheryl L. Sanchez

Cheryl L. Sanchez (Schindler,) 70, of Findlay, went home to be with the Lord in the early morning of Sunday, January 19, 2025, at Blanchard Valley Hospital. She was born in Lima June 20, 1954. She is survived by the love of her life, Robert Sanchez Sr., who she married June 28, 1975. Cheryl is also survived by her brother, Richard E. Schindler; her children, Angel (Danny) Werner, Robert (Jennifer Blakely) Sanchez, Danielle (Josh) Ramirez, and Jennifer Salisbury; her seven beloved grandchildren, Brett, Kaylee, Mariah, Josh, Alexis, Savannah, and Daniel; and great-grandchildren, Lincoln and Parker.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Ethel (Miller) Schindler; her sisters, Betty Jones and Nora Swallow; and her brothers, Larry and Greg Schindler.

Cheryl graduated from Lima Senior High School in 1971. She was a stay-at-home mother but also worked various part time jobs throughout her life. Cheryl was known for her strong will, unwavering determination, and stubbornness. Talented at many hobbies, she enjoyed crafting, crocheting, diamond art painting, cooking, and her favorite, SHOPPING! Cheryl was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan. She didn't go a day without her Dr. Pepper, and anyone who drank her last Dr. Pepper, would hear about it. Cheryl loved spending time with her family and friends, and was proud to host multiple events annually, which without question, always included karaoke. Above all, being a Nana was her most cherished treasure.

Visitation for family and friends will be from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, January 26, 2025, at Kirkpatrick-Behnke Funeral Home, 500 Lima Ave, Findlay, Ohio 45840. A funeral service will take place at 11 a.m. Monday, January 27, 2025, also at Kirkpatrick-Behnke Funeral Home, followed by burial at St. Michael's Cemetery.
