Cheryl was born December 12, 1950 in Richmond, Indiana, the daughter of Joseph and Peggy (Smith) Kaufmann. She graduated from Richmond High School and later attended Earlham College in Richmond. On August 21, 1994 Cheryl and Terry Tucker were married in Denver, Colorado.

Cheryl is survived by her husband, Terry Tucker; step-daughter, Kelly DeKalb and her children, Ryan and Andrew DeKalb of Prospect, Kentucky; step-son, Justin Tucker of Arvada, Colorado; son, Ronald Fleagle and his children Raina and Lexi Theaman, and their mother Lesa Theaman of Reno, Nevada; sister, Diana (Cliff) Warner of Centerville, Indiana; brother, Joe (Cindy) Kaufmann of Goose Creek, South Carolina; and many friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Peggy Kaufmann and sister, Linda Jones.

Cheryl loved spending time with her grandchildren and was looking forward to much more time with them after her retirement. She loved Raina, Lexi, Ryan, and Andrew very much. Cheryl and her Terry loved to be together, hold hands, and loved to travel - they traveled frequently. Two weeks in Italy for their tenth wedding anniversary was the highlight of their travels. Cheryl and Terry loved their beach time, especially while in resorts on both coasts of Mexico and while cruising in the Caribbean. Their last cruise of March 2016 is especially memorable. Cheryl loved the California and Oregon Coast and get aways to Mount Rushmore, Washington DC, New York City, and the fall colors of the North East. She loved looking forward to and planning for her and Terry's next vacation.
Cheryl loved being with her many friends. They had so many fun times with each other and many trips to Las Vegas and Blackhawk to be together and have a great time. They all loved and supported each other as the "Tini" girls. Cheryl loved her work and developed many strong relationships with her co-workers and clients. She was dedicated to do the best for her clients, and always did so with integrity, honesty, and professionalism.
Terry and his family would like to thank Cheryl's doctors and caregivers at Parker Adventist Hospital and Porter Hospice. And a very special thank you to Cheryl's friends and co-workers who provided such loving support and help, Cheryl and Terry are blessed to have so many wonderful friends and the loving support of Kelly and Justin.
