October 29, 1950 – July 1, 2020

Cheryl Ann Hodge, age 69 of Monroe, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, July 1, 2020 at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

Born on October 29, 1950 in Wyandotte, from the union of Robert and LoRayne (Krem) Shivel. Cheryl was one of three children in the family. She attended John F. Kennedy High School in Taylor and graduated in 1969.

After graduating, she married her high school sweetheart: Roger Hodge. They got married on December 4, 1971 at the Barry Memorial Baptist Church in Taylor, MI. They raised a family of two children and spent over 48 wonderful years together.

Cheryl was very devoted to her faith and loved going to church. She was a long time member of the Ypsilanti Missionary Baptist Church. After moving to the area, she became a member at Union Street Missionary Baptist Church of Monroe. Cheryl enjoyed attending church services and singings, and traveled often supporting her oldest grandson's singing ministry.

In her free time, Cheryl enjoyed going shopping, eating out to her favorite restaurants, and going on vacation. One place in particular she loved, was visiting the Great Smoky Mountains. Countless memories were made that will never be forgotten.

Most importantly, Cheryl adored spending quality time with her family. Cheryl was a loving homemaker to her husband and children. She was the matriarch that held everyone together. Later in life, when she became a Mamaw, her grandchildren became her world that she would do anything for. Cheryl will be sorely missed and cherished in the hearts of her loved ones.
