Cheryl Frances Kujawski

Cheryl Frances Kujawski, an inspiration of love and kindness, left this world for Heaven on May 25, 2025, at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, Tennessee, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on October 15, 1959, in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada, Cheryl’s journey through life was marked by the unwavering passion, joy, and creativity she brought to those around her. She was a devoted, loving wife to her husband, Gregory, the Best Mom Ever to her son, Travis, and a loyal companion to her cherished doggies, Dobby and Fatboy.

Cheryl’s zeal for life was as uplifting as her smile and laugh. Her story is one of triumph over life’s challenges — a true reflection of her strength and fortitude. She completed high school and went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from the renowned School of Hard Knocks, a reflection of her resilience, adaptability, and unbreakable spirit. Her career in the medical field, particularly in insurance billing and administration, showcased her diligence and compassion, but her truest calling was being the heart of her family — the devoted wife and extraordinary mother.

Life, for Cheryl, was an adventure and a blank canvas she painted with her own joyful spirit. An avid scrapbooker and card maker, she turned memories into cherished keepsakes. Fishing in the lakes on her property wasn’t just about the catch — it was about laughter, stories, and time spent with those she loved. Her favorite pastime was simply being with her doggies and caring for the hummingbirds that visited with trust in her gentle presence. A true wildlife enthusiast, she found wonder in the natural world, a mirror of the wonder and beauty she brought into others’ lives.

Cheryl’s competitive spirit shone brightest during family game nights. Whether it was a board game, a card game, or a backyard challenge, she played with an endearing determination to win and a joyful attitude that made every match both memorable and fun. Her laughter when she won — which was often — was, to those around her, the real victory: simply being in her presence.

Described by those who knew her best as loving, kind, passionate, and creative, Cheryl was the embodiment of these virtues. She nurtured her relationships with the same care and tenderness one would give a newborn, allowing them to grow and flourish. Her passion was not a quiet ember but a blazing flame, warming all who came near. And her kindness — that rare, once-in-a-generation kind of kindness — truly defined her. It is the kind that should be treasured, protected, and remembered.

To speak of Cheryl is to speak of a life lived with love. She understood that people sometimes need hope — a light to guide them — and she never hesitated to be that light. Her belief in the goodness of others was not only admirable, but inspiring — a belief we should all strive to embody. Cheryl’s legacy is one of generosity, empathy, and an unshakable faith in the kindness of the human spirit.

Cheryl’s story does not end here. It lives on in the hearts of her family, the laughter of her friends, and the little signs God gives us each day. Let us not dwell on the silence left by her absence but celebrate the vibrant life she lived. Cheryl never wanted her loved ones to be sad about her passing — she wanted joy, celebration, and love. That, in itself, speaks to her beautiful selflessness.

She left a profound mark on those who loved her and on the world around her — a legacy of love that will continue to inspire us all. Let us honor her memory by living as she did: with love, kindness, creativity, and an unbridled passion for life.

Cheryl, your light will never fade from the hearts of those you've touched.
