Notes |
- Cheryl Marie Nethery, aged 55, passed away Monday, July 1, 2024, in Webster, Texas after a long illness. Born on April 21, 1969, in Houston, Texas to Robert Gene Nethery and Annie DeAlva Davis Nethery, Cheryl was a spirited individual whose life was marked by her generosity and humor.
Cheryl graduated from South Houston High School in 1987 and later achieved both her bachelor's and master's degrees while working full-time. Her academic dedication paved the way for a successful career. Cheryl was a respected HR Professional, initially with Brown and Root and KBR, before she found her passion in the Oil Field Drilling Business as a Regional HR Manager.
Beyond her professional life, Cheryl was deeply committed to animal welfare, often supporting animal charities, rescues, and shelters. Her love for animals was evident when she adopted her first Boxer puppy, Sarge, in 2007, which sparked her enduring affection for the breed. Cheryl's home was never without a Boxer, her most recent companion being her beloved dog and closest pal, Libby.
Cheryl's compassion extended beyond animals; she was always ready to assist anyone in need, making no distinction between friends and strangers. Her sense of humor was a source of joy for those around her, capable of lifting spirits in any situation. She had a heart as big as her home state of Texas with a sense of humor to match it. She could make you laugh even when you didn't feel like laughing.
She worshipped at the First Baptist Church of Genoa. Her faith and the community there were integral parts of her life.
Cheryl is survived by her parents, Gene and Ann Nethery of Highlands, Texas; brother, Steve Nethery and his wife, Janet, of St. Amant, Louisiana; sister, Kathie James and her husband, Mike, of Highlands, Texas; seven nieces and nephews, numerous great-nieces and nephews; and her best friend, Pam Hurley and her husband, Evan. She was preceded in death by her sister, Judy Daniels and her husband, Jim.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at Starr Funeral Home Chapel, 510 Starr Street, Hemphill, Texas, officiated by Bro. Mike Tieman.
Visitation will occur one hour prior to the service.
Burial will follow at Milam Cemetery, with her nephews Josh Gulley, Jeremy Gulley, Chris James, Alex James, Andrew James, and Troy Adell serving as pallbearers.
The arrangements are under the direction of Starr Funeral Home, Hemphill, Texas.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date to be held at First Baptist Church of Highlands.
