In 1963, Cheryl married the love of her life, David Neil Young.

Survivors include her sons, David Neil Young II of Shamrock, Texas, and Brent Scott Young (Chris) of Joseph City, and daughters, Kim Laree Skinner (Rick) of Thatcher and Traci Fannin of Holbrook; nine grandchildren, Vianna Young (Brian Hall), Shelby Perkins, Mashayla Kleinman (Joseph), Christopher Young, Brett Skinner, Brendan Skinner (Kelsey), Brice Skinner, Bobby Fannin; Jordan Fannin; a sister, Ranae Bodine (Lee); and a brother, Delbert Lloyd (Kathleen).

She was preceded in death by her father, Elbert Lloyd; her mother, Vilate Lloyd; a sister, Yvonne Lloyd; and her husband, Neil Young.

Cheryl would like you to know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of an offer you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place, where she will be socializing, dancing and eating chocolate to her heart’s content. Quilting, music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. She left detailed instructions for her children to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated.

She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end. We will remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for life, that she did a great job and wish her a safe journey.

She made a difference in the lives of many, and we invite you to join us and celebrate together.

Funeral services will be held at 1 o’clock this afternoon (May 8) at the Holbrook LDS Stake Center, 1127 Helen Ave, with a visitation one hour prior. Burial will follow at the Holbrook Cemetery.

Owens Livingston Mortuary of Holbrook was in charge of the arrangements.
