HANSEN,Cheryl Lynn (nee Henderson)

February 2, 1971- December 24, 2022

It is with heavy hearts and great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of a mother, daughter, and friend.

Cheryl was born in Calgary and was adopted as an infant by Jean and Zandy Henderson of Lethbridge. She grew up with her parents and sisters and many beloved pets. She studied Travel and Tourism, and as an adult became the first person in her family to obtain a post-secondary education when she graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work; a profession that she was extremely proud of and passionate about. She enjoyed travelling, making and eating delicious food, going to the movies, museums, and spending time with her kids. She was loved by many that came into contact with her, and always had a funny quip, sarcastic remark, or a kind word at the ready. She encouraged and uplifted many of her friends, coworkers, and clients.

Cheryl is survived by her three children: Kassandra Miehe (nee Ward) of Nova Scotia, Shane Hansen of Lethbridge, and Jenelle Hansen of Lethbridge. She is also survived by her parents, birth parents, sisters, brother, and nieces/ nephews. She will be missed and remembered by countless friends as a light to those she knew.

Cheryl was passionate about many projects, but she especially felt connected to charities and assistance provided for abused women and families. In lieu of flowers, if you so wish, you may make a donation directly to Awo Taan Healing Lodge Society in memory of Cheryl at awotaan.org/about-us/donate-to-awo-taan

A funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at Wheatland Funeral Home at 11:00 am.
