Cheryl-Lynn Diane Duffy

December 2, 1957 - May 23, 2023

Cheryl Lynn Duffy, aged 65, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer surrounded by her loving family on May 23, 2023. She is survived by her husband Gerry of 43 years and her daughters Alison (Andrew), Meghan (Callum) and Dani (Rob). She will be missed greatly by her beloved grandchildren whom she adored; Campbell (8), Annabell (5), Lily (5), Emilia (3), Maisie (1) and Charlotte (1). She also leaves to mourn her mother Beverley Braun, her siblings Debbie, Jimmy, Terry and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father James Paul Braun. 

Cheryl was an amazing woman who encompassed the true essence of love and family. Her most treasured moments were always spent with her family. Her daughters and grandchildren were her pride and joy. She loved playing piano, singing and just being silly with them. Cheryl loved to dance, her beautiful smile and love for dancing and performing was contagious. She enjoyed cooking and baking, and having the warmth of family and friends surround her. Cheryl’s wit and humour were unparalleled and evidenced by the numerous poems and “ditties” she wrote. 

Cheryl will also be missed by her many friends whom she loved dearly. She made friends wherever she went and cherished the connections that were made. Many of these friends were made at the Manitoba Dental Association. Cheryl didn't consider working there to be a job, but rather another one of her passions. The kindness and compassion shown by her work family will not be forgotten. Cheryl’s best friend Debbie May did not leave her side and helped her through some of the toughest moments. Family, friendships, love and laughter were so important to Cheryl. Cheryl’s light and passion will continue to shine on. Heaven has truly gained an extraordinary Angel. 

A service will be held to celebrate the wonderful, albeit much too short, life of Cheryl on June 1st from 2:00-4:00pm, at the Manitoba Club (194 BroadwayAve.)
