In Memory
Sherri Lynn (Morin) Cheney
January 12, 1949 ~ September 1, 2025
Sherri L. Cheney (Morin), a woman of deep faith and unyielding spirit, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2025, in Osceola, Indiana, at the age of 76.
For those who knew her, Sherri's passions were no secret. She loved God, Notre Dame football, and her family—not necessarily in that order, depending on the season. Saturdays were reserved for cheering on the Fighting Irish, and her home was filled with the sounds of game day. She dedicated her life to her children and adored her grandchildren and great-grandson.
The oldest of eight children, Sherri was born to the late Robert P. Morin and Velma P. Morin (Edwards). She is survived by her sister, Alaine Morin-Bryan, and her brothers, Robert P. (Judy) Morin II, Ronald Morin, Raymon Morin, Randy Morin, and Rodney (Melissa) Morin. She was preceded in death by her brother, Roland Morin.
Sherri has been reunited with her husband of 52 years, Julius D. Cheney, who preceded her in death. Her memory will be cherished by her sons, J.D. Cheney II, and John (Caitlin) Cheney; her former daughter-in-law, Dana L. Cheney; and her daughter, Aimee (Peter) Mawale. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Anthony C. Behner, Ethan Clayton, Elisha Clayton, Cameron Cheney, Campbell Cheney, Adelaide Cheney, Alice Cheney, her great-grandson, Owen Clayton and most importantly, her dog Molly.
While not known for her prowess in the kitchen, she was always quick to whip up a prayer and roll out a scripture to anyone in need. You were more likely to get a blessing than a casserole, and frankly, it was probably better for everyone that way. Lastly, she will be remembered for her ability to loudly out-cheer anyone at a sporting event and for her iconic calls to bring you home.
A visitation will be held on Friday, September 12, 2025 from 3-7 p.m. at Palmer Funeral Home – Bubb Chapel, 3910 N. Main St. Mishawaka, IN 46545. A private burial will take place at Fairview Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Christian Life Center, 1717 N. Hickory Rd., South Bend, IN 46635.
