Cheryl Kay Gantt

Cheryl Kay Gantt, 74, of Manhattan, Kansas, passed away on September 23, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Cheryl was born August 29, 1950 in Niles, Michigan, the daughter of Duane Fisher Sr and Jane Shiele. She graduated from Niles High School in 1969. Cheryl married Norman Schyler Gantt on June 6, 1970 in Niles, Michigan with Clergy officiating. 43 years of marriage. Norman passed away June 19, 2013.

She worked as a factory worker at various companies. Cheryl became fully retired in 2012. Cheryl especially loved shopping with friends, laughing with family, and engaging in arts and crafts. She was passionate about teaching her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren to follow their own path and chase their dreams. She loved her family and would make a point to tell them that she loved and appreciated them as often as possible, sometimes with a hug but most frequently with a text.

Cheryl was a good mother, sister, and friend. She meant more to her family than she ever understood. She gave her life to the Lord and is now in heaven in peace. Cheryl will be missed and will live forever in our hearts. We will miss her deeply.

Remaining to cherish Cheryl’s memory are son, Richard Gantt; daughter-in- law, Josefina Gantt; grandchildren, Gloria Gantt, Jazmin Marve, Isabel Gantt, Schyler Gantt; brother, Robert Fisher Sr; sister, Maryann Carey and brother- in-law, Leon Carey.

Preceding Cheryl in death are spouse, Norman Gantt; parents, Duane Fisher Sr. and Jane Shiele; brother, Duane Fisher Jr.; and sister, Pamela Tribbett.
