Cheryl Ann Guillemette, born October 12, 1966 to John Edward Walsh and Yvette Alice (Gentes), passed away surrounded by her family and pets after a long and hard-fought battle with illness.

She was born and raised in Manchester NH, graduating from Central High School, and going on to earn her nursing degree in 1988. It was in the nursing field that Cheryl found her true calling. She had an unmatched passion for her work and took great pleasure in being a mentor and role model for upcoming nursing students.

In her spare time, Cheryl would express her creativity through her beautiful oil, and acrylic paintings. She had a great love for animals and her home was always filled with the birds and dogs that she cherished.
