(See link below for the Service Bulletin including the Order of Service.)

Cheryl Boyles was born on August 7, 1965, to Larry and Joyce (Timbrook) Boyles at Oakland Naval Hospital, Oakland, California. She was the third of 4 children.

If you asked her what her biggest accomplishment in life was, she would not hesitate to list her children: Elizabeth, Samantha and Kelley. However, you can ask any one of her loved ones and they would list her generous heart that bled kindness, love, and acceptance unto everyone she met.

In November of 2002, she was born again and saved by her Heavenly Father. She married Geary Smith on November 20, 2004, and gained another 3 children, Geary, Jade, and Cody Smith.

She loved many, but especially children. She was, for a time, a Guardian ad Litem. She also worked with Cases of Courage, a nonprofit organization who packed and donated bags of clothing and supplies for foster children in Carteret County via Abide Ministries.  She adopted everyone’s babies and became “mama Cheryl” to all. Also known as the “baby whisperer” she saved many a new mother by snuggling newborns, cooking food, cleaning or running errands. Her helping hand never tired.

She is survived by her husband, Geary Smith; children, Elizabeth Dryden and husband Matthew, Samantha Dyer, Kelley Ennis, Geary D. Smith and wife Laura, Rebecca Jade Lowry and husband Benjamin, and Cody Smith; her grandchildren, Rosalynn and Weston Dryden, Wyatt, Cade, and Rhett Ennis, and Willow Smith; siblings, Kristy B. Tarrant and husband George, Toby Boyles and wife Lisa; father, Bruce Mason; nieces and nephews, Allie Schofield, Justin Boyles, Daniel Tarrant, Jayme Boyles, Forrest Boyles and Lawson Boyles; and great niece and nephew, Olivia Schofield and Gavin Tarrant.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Joyce Ray Timbrook Mason; father, Lawrence Grat Boyles; and sister, Kelley Rae Boyles.

The family will receive friends from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., Friday, June 25, 2021, at Munden Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, Cheryl wished for one of two things: a donation to Abide Ministries at 6630 Bay Circle, Suite A, Norcross, Georgia 30071, https://northlands.churchcenter.com/unproxy/registrations/events/916281 to continue to support Cases for Courage, or for an act of kindness or service for another to continue her God given mission to be a blessing to all she had the privilege to come across.
