Cheryl Ann Kennedy passed away peacefully on July 10th, 2026. She was born in Birmingham, Alabama on October 7th, 1956 to Thomas R. Bullock and Betty June Bullock.
Cheryl was a devoted wife, loving mother, faithful Christian, and treasured friend whose life was a beautiful example of service, kindness, and unwavering faith. She dedicated her life to loving God, caring for her family, and serving others with a joyful heart.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Roger Kennedy; her daughters, Heather Hand (Derek) and Carrie Jarrell (Adam); and grandchildren.
For many years, Cheryl faithfully served the youth of Liberty Baptist Church through the breakfast ministry, where she and Roger welcomed countless young people with love, biscuits, and cheese grits. She found great joy in caring for others and living out her faith through acts of service.
Cheryl also touched the lives of many young children as a preschool teacher at Little Lamb’s Mother’s Day Out Program. She had a special gift for nurturing little ones with patience, compassion, and love, leaving a lasting impression on the children and families she served.
Those who knew Cheryl will always remember her incredible talents in the kitchen. She loved preparing meals for family and friends and was especially known for making the best homemade cakes and lasagna. Sharing food was one of the many ways she expressed her love, and no one ever left her table hungry.
Above all, Cheryl’s greatest legacy is the love she shared with her family, her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, and the countless lives she touched through her kindness and generosity. Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she is now at home with her Savior.
