Cheryl Ann Thompson, age 77, of Lubbock, passed away peacefully in her home on December 2, Cheryl was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, on December 8, 1944, to Charles and Evelyn Brooks.  Cheryl is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 59 years, Harold Thompson; their children, Kelly Thompson; Kristy Northcutt and husband, Mike; Chuck Thompson and wife, Kim; grandchildren, Hunter, Avery, Carter, Davis, and Wells; her sister, Sandy Searcy, niece, Stacy, and nephew, Conner. She was preceded in death by her parents, Evelyn and Charles Brooks.

Cheryl grew up in Wichita Falls, and after graduating from Wichita Falls High, she attended college at the University of North Texas, where she met her husband, Harold. She was set up on a blind date with a handsome young man from Abernathy, who took her to Possum Kingdom Lake for their first date. After that, they were inseparable and were married on September 21, 1963.

Cheryl was best known for her larger-than-life personality, infectious laugh, and her heart of gold. She had never met a stranger, and everyone who knew her couldn’t help but love her. Cheryl’s magnetic energy was contagious – she commanded a room without even knowing it.  She could always be heard bragging about her grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Miney.” She doted on them equally, but each of them was sure they were her favorite.

As an avid Bridge player, Cheryl earned her Life Master in Duplicate Bridge.  She was also a longtime member of the Lubbock Women’s Club, where she served on many committees but was best known for her decorating talents. Cheryl cherished her fun-filled days with her friends, playing cards & laughing.

She was a beloved mother, wife, and grandmother who brought special laughter and love to her family. Her zeal for life and dynamic personality will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

The family of Cheryl Thompson will host a gathering of family and friends for fellowship and remembrance from 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. A service to celebrate her life is scheduled at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers, followed by a private family graveside at Possum Kingdom Lake.  Please view the service broadcasting schedule, floral purchasing, and an area to share stories of Mrs. Thompson with her family.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a designated gift to the American Cancer Society.

Our family is praying for your family in your time of sorrow. We have always thought highly of your family as I attended school with Kristy and in our dealings with your family through the John Deere dealership and attending Church together. Even after the John Deere days I remember seeing Mr and Mrs coming in the Lincoln dealership for service or seeing them in a restaurant from time to time together, I admired that they seemed happy together still which isn't as common today. Prayer especially for Mr Harold.

Our prayers go out to your famy. We loved Cheryl. My fondest memories are the ones we spent at the lake where Cheryl would drive us around PK and we would laugh and have the best time. I've spent many of hours on their boat dock, getting my tan on with Chuck jumping in splashing me. I remember falling in the water between the boat and the dock and Cheryl trying to calm my hysterical mom down. I popped right up and she told my mom, "See she is ok". Mom was so mad at me and Cheryl just laughed. We will continue ue to keep yall in our prayers.
