Lakewood News - March 10, 2012 Gun Lake, MI - Cheryl Mills, age 67, of Gun Lake, succumbed to pancreatic cancer on February 29, 2012. She was born in New London, WI and moved to Michigan where she spent the last several years, living on the lake she loved. Left behind to cherish her spirit are her husband, love of her life, Tom; her sister, Sandra Wilson; her children, Theron (Linda) Storey, Stephany Storey, Brandon Andersen, Kris (Christy) Andersen, Miggon (Brent) Wilson, Erin Mills, and Samantha Mills; and four grandchildren, Rikki Fox, Payton Wilson, Elexia and Tristan Andersen; and her father-in-law, Samuel Mills. Cheryl's fervor for life and her drive for success allowed her to achieve goals both in business and family. She helped initiate Art in the Park in Lake Odessa, wrote federal and state grants for housing and community development in four counties, successfully bred and trained Arabs and Tennessee Walkers. Family, friends, and traditions were extremely important to her as well as living a healthy lifestyle. Travel was an integral part of life the past several years, visiting places in Mexico, Caribbean, and Costa Rica, experiencing the local culture. Every time she traveled she would take an extra suitcase of clothing to give to the people of that locale. Her love of gardening with attention to detail made her gardens majestic. Her zest for life was contagious. Her uniqueness could not be ignored, and a passion for family and friends will never be forgotten. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Faith Hospice (www.faithhospice.org), or Pancreatic Cancer Research (www.pancan.org) would be appreciated. A memorial service will beheld at a later date.
