She also enjoyed Mahjongg, Canasta, piano music, traveling (recent trips to the UK and China) and rooting on her beloved Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs and University of Kansas Jayhawks.

I am so sorry to hear this. Charyl lived a couple of blocks away and I knew her since elementary school. Such a sweet person. Her family had the first color TV in the neighborhood. A bunch of us kids went over to watch it. I remember it seemed everything seemed green. But we had such a good time. My condolences to her family. Only wonderful memories of Charyl.

I'm so sad to hear this. I though she was doing well with her treatments. She was a very kind and sweet person. Rest In Peace Charyl.

I was made aware of Charyl's status from Hilda--I just had a difficult time accepting it- due to the several friends I have lost in the past 15 months. We weren't that close but had a couple of get togethers in recent years.  Hilda said it all--Charyl was a giving person-putting others first.  My thoughts to Charyl's large family & friends.  Good memories to have.

This is so very sad to hear, as are all the early deaths in our class. I want to add a thought more generally: I have the impression (though it may be misguided and I hope one of our statisticians can put me straight if I'm wrong) that we, as a class, have had to date a disproportionate number of deaths before the age of 70, sometimes well before the age of 70. There are historically relevant factors in our slice of the ages. But that considered, and beyond that, am I right? Brooke

Charyl was the picture of health.  I am sad to think that she is gone.  I worked with her briefly at Children's Mercy and of course knew her from high school.  She was such a nice person.

I’m sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. She was a friend from the days of Marlborough elementary school.
