Cheryl Lynn Adkins
March 25, 1957 - February 5, 2022
PORTSMOUTH-Cheryl Lynn Adkins, 64, of Portsmouth, went to
meet her Savior early in the morning on Saturday, February 5, 2022 at Riverside
Methodist Hospital in Columbus. Cheryl was born to Howard and Betty Adkins on
March 25, 1957.
After graduating from Minford High School in 1975, she moved
to Columbus, where she went on to become a cosmetologist, and later worked for
Bank One. Returning to Scioto County, Cheryl was employed by Lowe's for nearly
30 years, retiring in 2019. Cheryl attended North Moreland Christian Baptist
Church and Seventh Street Christian Baptist Church. She was extremely active in
the Christian Baptist Association.
She loved traveling with her friends in Tennessee. If Cheryl
wasn't cooking in the kitchen, she was on either watching Hallmark movies or on
the front porch reading. A woman of few words and a giving heart, she will be
missed by all of those who loved her and called her "Aunt Cheryl".
Cheryl was preceded in death by her parents, Howard Adkins
and Betty Lou (Clark) Adkins.
Surviving are her sisters, Pamela (Gregory) Shonkwiler of
Portsmouth and Mary Beth (Ashley) McGlone of Etna; her niece Arrika (Daniel)
Mains of Portsmouth; her nephews, Andrew (Faith) Shonkwiler of Portsmouth, Levi
(Anna) McGlone of Canal Winchester and Noah McGlone of Etna; three
great-nieces, Josie, Jenna and Noel; three great-nephews, Gunnar, Remington and
Kase; a treasured cousin, Carolyn Arnett and many friends.
A service will be held at the convenience of the family with
Ashley McGlone officiating. Interment will be in Wheelersburg Cemetery.
The family will receive guests at the BRANT FUNERAL HOME IN
SCIOTOVILLE from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Memorial gifts may be made to "Cheryl Lynn Adkins Legacy
Fund" created by her nieces and nephews so her work on earth can continue.
At this time, donations can be made to the Atomic Credit Union, currently under
the care of Andrew Shonkwiler/Arrika Mains.
