Made her transition 9/12/2023 at her home in San Jose, CA with her wife, Corinne Hendren by her side. She was recently diagnosed with ALS which is what took her from us all too soon. Cheryl was born 10/2/1951 to Jean Ramsey Piercy and John Harvey Piercy in Georgetown, Texas. She grew up in Dallas, TX; graduating from W.T. White High School in 1969 where she was a member of the drill team and the a cappella choir. She attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX after graduation. Cheryl was a member of the Flying W Motorcycle Club and The Dallas Women’s Chorus when she lived in Texas.
She met the love of her life, Corinne Hendren while working at DSC/Alcatel/Lucent/Nokia. (The company changed names that many times while she stayed in the same place for 30 years.) They traveled the world and made the most of their time together. They were avid cruisers. In addition to traveling, Cheryl and Corinne enjoyed tandem bicycling, playing golf, hiking, anything they could do together outside. They included other family with them whenever possible. She also loved baseball and football switching her allegiance from the Cowboys and the Rangers to the 49ers and the Giants when she made her move to California. Cheryl was active in the Bay Area Showcase Chorus (BASC)
Cheryl is survived by her wife, Corinne of San Jose, CA; her mother, Jean Middough of Carrollton, TX; brother, Ken Piercy of Addison, TX; Sister, Liz Wilson (Mark) of Waxahachie, TX; brothers-in-law, George Parise of Los Angeles, CA; Francis Parise (Laurie) of Salem, NH; sisters-in-law, Paula Parise of London, England; Francine Parise of Ft.
