CHERAY M. COTTON
FOREVER 24
Cheray M. Cotton was pure sunshine in human form. Her smile had a way of warming hearts, her laughter could brighten even the gloomiest days, and her love was boundless. Cheray wasn’t just a daughter, a sister, or a friend—she was a giver, someone who poured everything she had into others without ever asking for anything in return.
She had this quiet magic about her, a way of making people feel seen, loved, and valued. Whether it was through her words, her time, or simply her presence, Cheray gave freely and without hesitation. She didn’t just light up a room—she made people feel like they belonged in it.
“She was loved more than she ever knew and is missed more than she will ever know,” her family shares. It’s a heartbreaking truth for someone who gave so much to everyone else but may not have realized how much she was loved in return.
Cheray’s life was filled with love, laughter, and moments of pure joy that her family and friends will hold onto forever. She left an emptiness that can never truly be filled, but her warmth, her kindness, and her love will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her.
