Cheryl was born on September 26, 1966, in Conrad, Montana, to Joanne Racine and Stanley Spotted Wolf. She was raised in Browning, Montana, where she was lovingly cared for by her grandmother and her two aunts, whose guidance and strength helped shape the remarkable woman she became.

Above all, Cheryl was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother. She had an incredibly big heart and made it a point to share her love with those closest to her every single day. Cheryl made everyone around her feel loved, valued, and supported. Her kindness, compassion, and generosity touched countless lives, and the love she gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
