Cheryl Lindsley
April 14, 1939 - June 24, 2022
Cheryl Lorene Brock Linds-
ley was born April 14, 1939, to
William Sydney Brock and Rita
Zollman Brock.
She died Friday, June 24, 2022,
after a long and courageous fight
with cancer.
Cheryl grew up calling the Wal-
lowa County region of Oregon
home and graduated from Enter-
prise HighSchool in Enterprise, Oregon. After gradua-
tion, she met and married Gordon Lindsley.
Her abiding faith and love for Jesus Christ drove
every important decision she made in her life. She at-
tended the Enterprise Nazarene Church from birth until
marrying and moving away from the Wallowa region.
She attended various churches throughout her life,
keeping her faith whole.
She was loved by all she met, her kind heart and
compassion for others was her trademark feature inlife.
She traveled cross country for new adventures with
her husband, an Air Force flight navigator at the time,
settling at Mountain Home Air Force Base, where her
first son, Douglas was born in 1959. Next, they were
off to Fort Worth, Texas, where they welcomed their
second son, Robin, in 1960. After leaving the Air Force,
they ventured to Ilwaco, Washington to work in con-
struction. This is where their third son, Darren, was
born in 1963. After moving back to the Wallowa moun-
tains to pursue work in the forests, Cheryl and Gordon
were blessed with their fourth son, Timothy, in 1967.
In 1968 the family moved back to Ilwaco, Washing-
ton, where they lived until 1978, when Gordon found
work in the nuclear industry at Hanford, Washington.
The family moved to Pasco, Washington, where the
family settled until Gordon fell ill and passed away in
2013. This was a deep blow to Cheryl and the family.
Cheryl continued to maintain the family home after
Gordon’s passing. Many recall seeing her on her John
Deere riding mower, mowing the acre and a half lawn
weekly. (One of the highlights of her week.)
Cheryl was talented beyond words, painting the most
beautiful oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel paintings
one could imagine. She also created beautiful chalk-
board designs each month.
Cheryl played the accordion, piano, and organ. She
also played the tuba in high school.
She was a master crochet artist, making and gifting
hundreds of beautiful blankets, ornaments, and toys
throughout the years. Her creative handmade Christmas
decorations and Christmas party themes brought smiles
to many.
Cheryl’s love for her family and friends was abun-
dant. She loved spending time with her children, grand-
children, and many others she considered family. She
always had an encouraging thought or funnystory to
relay. She truly made the world a better place.
