Obituary

Cheryl Lynne Greiner, 68, of Chippewa Township, PA departed this earth for heaven on 12/24/24 after a 4-year long battle with cancer.

Cheryl was born on June 27^th, 1956 to the late James and Joan Henderson in Youngwood, PA.  Cheryl and her brother James “Jimmy” Henderson attended and graduated Hempfield High School.  Following High School, Cheryl went on to study early childhood education at Seton Hill University.

In 1979, Cheryl met the love of her life, David M. Greiner (a younger man), in Baden, PA.  Later married in 1985, Cheryl and Dave went on to have two sons, Michael and Matthew Greiner and established their family home in Chippewa, PA.

Cheryl’s love of children led her to teaching at Mt. Olive Christian Preschool in Chippewa for over 20 years, touching the lives of countless children in the Beaver County region.  She loved seeing her “Preschool kids” grow and mature in the community.  During the Christmas season, Cheryl and Dave still display the hundreds of gifts and memorabilia accrued over the years gifted to her by her loving preschool students.

After Cheryl finished teaching, she started her most important job yet and was promoted to “Meme G”, grandmother of 3 beautiful grandchildren – Wylder, Tillman, and Leif.   In addition to being the ultimate grandmother, Cheryl loved spending time in her flower beds and was unofficially nicknamed the neighborhood green thumb.  Cheryl also enjoyed making delicious Sunday dinners for her loving husband, children, and grandchildren.  During moments of quiet time, you could find Cheryl relaxing by turning the pages of a great book.  Cheryl was always full of love, positive energy, and a beautiful smile.

Meme has always been a faithful servant of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  In these last years of trials, her faith has only strengthened.  She departed this world with a full life, a full heart, and a desire to see each and every one of you with her in Heaven.

Cheryl is survived by the following: Husband David Greiner, Mother Joan Henderson, Brother Jim Henderson, Sons Michael and Matthew Greiner, her beloved bonus daughters Nicole Greiner (Michael) and Cate Connor (Matthew), Grandchildren Wylder, Tillman, and Leif Greiner.

A church service will be held at Chippewa United Methodist Church, 2545 Darlington Road, Beaver Falls, PA 15010 on 01/11/25 at 11:00am.  A celebration of life will follow at the Church’s Fellowship Hall at the conclusion of the church service at 12:00pm. Cheryl expressed her wishes for everyone who has shared a moment in time with her to attend the church service and celebration of life!

And finally, a big shout out to the staff and fellow warriors at the Hillman Cancer Center, Cheryl’s friends, and her beloved family!

In lieu of flowers, Cheryl and family requests donations be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
