Cheryl Gravelle
January 25, 1952 ~ August 31, 2024
Cheryl Darlene Gravelle (nee McKay) died at the age of 72 on Saturday, August 31, 2024. Cheryl was born in Pincher Creek, Alberta on January 25, 1952, to Frank and Marie McKay. She studied nursing at St. Michael’s School of Nursing where she graduated from that program’s very last class, and went on to practice nursing in Bow Island for most of her career. She married David Gravelle in Bow Island in 1976, where they raised three children: Erin, Ryan and Mark. Cheryl was involved in her children’s sporting endeavours volunteering for Bow Island Minor Hockey and Figure Skating. Being dedicated to family, she split time between Calgary and Riverhurst on extended family visits. She also spent many winter getaways to warm destinations with her children and grandchildren, and summers at the cottage on Lake Diefenbaker. Cheryl’s sweet and loving nature was well understood by her three grandchildren who adored spending time with her. She was always available to listen to their stories, appreciate their creations, and spend time cuddling. Attending their sporting events, choir concerts and birthday parties was her greatest joy. Cheryl’s generous spirit ignited her love of shopping for her family. She recently took each of her grandchildren back to school shopping to ensure they had everything they needed for a successful school year. Cheryl was predeceased by her parents and her son, Ryan. She is lovingly remembered by her husband, David; children: Erin (Tom) Anderson and Mark (Tricia) Gravelle; grandchildren: Mary, Matthew, Jesse and Noah; brother, Ken; sister, Susan as well as many nieces and nephews. At Cheryl’s request, a private family service will be held.
