Cheryl was raised in Oklahoma City by her loving parents, Carl and Eula Jones, and graduated from Putnam City High School. Cheryl was a dedicated and beloved wife, mother and grandmother. She was married for 50 years to the love of her life and eternal companion, Arvle Don Hickey, with whom she raised three children. Cheryl found great joy in serving as a teacher in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and working in the temple, where she dedicated her life to our Savior Jesus Christ.
