Celebrating the life of Cheryl S. Fain who passed away on Sept. 21, 2023. Born in California, she enjoyed childhood adventures in California, Hawaii, Guam, and the U. S. Virgin Islands before moving to Ohio and making Roaming Shores her home for 49 years. Daughter of Alfred and Betty (Brightwell) Fain, sister of P. Steven Fain, and mother of Lee, Shawna, and Destrey. Remembered by grandchildren Elijah, Anna, and Joseph, nieces Audra and Camille and their mother Mo, honorary nieces and nephews Katie and Karen Martin, her soulmate Mike, and extended family and countless friends who were blessed to know her.

Cheryl kept busy: Homemaker, swimming instructor, clerk-treasurer of the Village of Roaming Shores, and a nurse. She would talk to any human who needed a friend, and her natural empathy made her beloved to all who met her. She served patients in maternity wards, nursing homes, and those seeking sobriety at Glenbeigh Treatment Center. Her nursing patients often said that God sent “an angel named Cheryl” to them in their times of need.

Cheryl’s hobbies included bowling, macramé, crocheting, quilting, karate, poetry writing, science fiction, card and board games, music, and dance. Her alto voice was beautiful along with guitar, piano, clarinet, saxophone, autoharp, ukulele, and a number of percussion instruments she played with gusto. She performed in church choirs, a praise band, the Sweet Adelines, Messiah Chorus of Lake County, Conneaut Lake Living Christmas Tree (cantata), and for a time was a regular musician at Manners Tree Farm during the Christmas season.

She loved Jesus, her fellow humans, and animals passionately (proved by her pal 'Sneaky' the boa constrictor who lived with her for 27 years). A Red Cross volunteer and editor of the Poetry Pantry column in the Shores News, and one of the first local women Rotarians, Cheryl became the president of the Rock Creek Rotary and a Paul Harris Fellow. A musician and lay servant in the United Methodist Church, and a board member of both the Village of Roaming Shores and the Romerock Association; her secular yet all-inclusive invocations are legendary.

Cheryl’s wish is that her ashes be returned to her place of origin in central California. A celebration of her life will be held at the Roaming Shores Clubhouse on Sunday, October 8. We welcome donations in her name to be made to the Country Neighbor program (P.O. Box 212, 39 S. Maple St., Orwell, OH 44076) or the Slovene Home (18621 Neff Rd. Cleveland OH 44119). “For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” Zeph 3:17.
