Cheryl Jesse passed away Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2018, after a long battle with heart failure. A kind and gentle person, she loved her family and the hundreds of children and families she came to know as the secretary at the Colfax-Mingo Elementary School. Her office was always known as a warm and caring spot with hugs, a full candy bowl and lots of student sounds and art on display.
Cheryl is survived by her husband Glen; and their three children, Mark, Melinda and Matthew. Cheryl always found great joy and happiness in her seven grandchildren, Hunter and Payton Jesse, Brynn, Rees, Lilly and Ireland Cunningham, and Grant Jesse. Cheryl is also survived by her mother Opal Surber McNitt of West Des Moines; and her large and cherished extended family. Surrounded by friends and family, Cheryl lived a life of happiness and joy.
A celebration of life for Cheryl will be from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28 at the Colfax Historical Center/Community Center, 1764 Highway 17 S. in Colfax. All who knew her and cared for this warm and loving person are invited to join the family in celebrating her great life. Please bring your stories of her to share with the community of people she touched.
