Golden Funeral Home - July 2020
CHERYL LYNN FRANKLIN TANKSLEY

Cheryl Lynn Franklin Tanksley passed away on July 10, 2020 in Houston, TX at the age
of sixty-four. She was born on October 30, 1955 to Ray and Ann Franklin. Cheryl was
a life-long member of the Church of Christ, where she was active in all aspects of
church life, including teaching Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and many other
church activities. Second only to her love for the Lord and His church, was the love
and devotion she had for her family. She was a perfect example of a Christian wife,
mother, and grandmother. She loved nothing more than loving, supporting, and
spoiling her seven grandchildren. For over thirty years Cheryl worked for the Files
Insurance Agency where she tirelessly served her customers. For over two years she
valiantly battled health issues with dignity, character and much fortitude.

Funeral services are scheduled for 11 AM Thursday, July 16, 2020 at Central Church
of Christ with Minister Jerry Martin officiating. Visitation with the family will be
from 10 AM - 11 AM. A private family interment will follow in Memorial Park Cemetery
under the direction of Golden Funeral Home.

She is survived by her loving husband of forty-four years, Terry Tanksley; mother,
Ann Franklin; daughter, Laura Smith and husband Brannon; son, Josh Tanksley and wife
Melissa; brother, Charles Franklin, Jr.; grandchildren, Caleb Tanksley, Shyla
Tanksley, Peyton Tanksley, Ethan Tanksley, Micah Smith, Mason Smith, Ann-Marie Smith
and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Mrs. Tanksley is preceded in death by her father, Charles Ray Franklin, Sr.; father
and mother-in-law, Willie and Mary Tanksley and sister, Debra Eubanks.
