Cheryl Amanda Lynn Payton (1983-2024) Cheryl Amanda Lynn Payton, a fiery and unforgettable force of nature, left this world on 12/26/2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and countless memories that will be cherished forever.

Cheryl lived life on her own terms, never backing down from a challenge and always living in the moment. Her infectious laugh, generous spirit, and unwavering support inspired countless lives, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Cheryl was a true wild child, chasing her dreams and living life to the fullest. With a heart of gold, quick wit, and sharp tongue, she could talk her way out of (or into) just about any situation. Her love of music, adventure, and good company was contagious, bringing people together and making everyone feel like family.

Cheryl is survived by her loving family, including her 8 children: Kaylee Dodd, Savannah Payton, and six others who will deeply miss their mother. She is also survived by her mother, Heidi Payton, and was a loving grandmother to Kayson Gore. A vast network of friends will miss her dearly.

Though she may be gone, Cheryl's spirit will live on in our hearts, inspiring us to live life to the fullest.

Rest in peace, dear Cheryl. Your wild and free spirit will never be forgotten.
