Cheryl L. Miller, 72, of Bellevue, NE entered into rest on Sunday, August 18, 2019 at Hillcrest Millard Nursing Home in Omaha, NE. She was born August 26, 1946 in Grand Island, NE to LeRoy and Amy (Christensen) Burry. Cheryl attended school in St. Paul, NE through the 11th grade and she graduated from York High School in 1964.
On September 10, 1966, Cheryl was united in marriage to Marvin Miller at Ashland United Methodist Church. They were blessed with two children Dawn Rae in November of 1968 and Kyle Lee in August of 1972. The young family lived in Alvo, Lexington, Gothenburg and Kearney before settling in Ashland, NE in the summer of 1976. Cheryl owned her own beauty shop, Headlines, on Main Street Ashland for 8 years before opening No Sweat Fitness in Fremont. In 1989 she attended Esthetics school and became the first licensed esthetician in the State of Nebraska. She worked at The Factory in Omaha and helped with the startup of Faces Day Spa where she worked until her retirement.
She had an energy and zest for life that was unsurpassed by most. She loved people and making people happy. In her jobs she most loved treating people special and making them feel good about themselves. She particularly loved her family and children. Cheryl enjoyed time on the water, painting, sewing, golfing, entertaining and traveling.
She is survived by husband, Marvin Miller; children, Dawn (Scott) Wagner and Kyle (Sarah) Miller; grandchildren, Zachary, Joshua, Jacob and Emily Wagner, Kade and Graham Miller.
She was preceded in death by her parents, LeRoy and Amy Burry; brother, Jerry Burry.
So sorry to hear of your loss will be praying for your family.
Marv, so sorry to see this. I remember the Christmas party that Cheryl and Kathy put on at your house in Lexington. We still have pictures of them in the matching champagne pink dresses they made. Best to you Marv.
Marv: I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Cheryl’s amazing energy and zest for life. She seemed to do everything with ease, including making everyone feel so welcome in your home. It’s hard to believe that such a bright light has been extinguished.
Marvin, I am so sorry to hear about Cheryl. We haven’t seen each other for so many years – I know Ann, David and Sara will join me in sincere condolences.
Our condolences to the Miller family
