Cheryl Katherine Hitchens-Earley

• 

Hitchens-Earley, Cheryl Katherine Age 59. Surrounded by loving family Cheryl made her peaceful exit on January 16, 2019 after a very brief battle with cancer. A lifelong northeast Minneapolis resident, Cheryl met her soulmate and fellow Edison HS class of '77 grad, Brad Earley, at the age of 14. They were married 34 years and became accomplished world travelers - further off the beaten path the better. They visited five continents to embrace new cultures and friendships. Cheryl loved high fashion, interior design and leaves behind many adoring customers at Chico's and Nordstrom's. She loved gardening, antiquing and sharing time and a "nip" with friends. Preceded in death by parents Ralph and Jean. She is survived by husband Brad and dogs Gus and Willie Nelson, siblings Nowell (Tom) Hodnett, Shelly (Jerry) Madden, John (Judy) Hitchens and Denise (Jim) Caputa, mother-in-law Beverly "Sissy" Earley, sister-in-law Julie (Michael) Kassela and many relatives and special friends around the world. A celebration of Cheryl's life is forthcoming. Special thanks to North Memorial Hospice staff. SUNSET 612-789-3596 sunsetfuneralservices.com
