She was born May 8, 1963 in Olathe, Kansas the daughter of David J. and Sandra L. Victor Hagman. Sheryl attended DeSoto High School where she participated in track and field. Her hard work and athleticism earned her a trip to the State track meet in the high jump. She went on to graduate with the Class of 1981.

In September of 1990, she was joined in marriage to Loren Rockers in Olathe where the young couple would make their home. Sheryl worked as a cook in area restaurants while raising her family. They often enjoyed time together while camping and fishing. Sheryl was truly an outdoor spirit who loved to garden and passed down her appreciation of nature to her children. Loren and Sheryl later divorced and she moved to Mound City, Kansas.

While in Mound City, Sheryl worked as a cook at the local school and also cooked at local restaurants. After eight years she moved to Spring Hill. Sheryl’s journey would change direction when she met her longtime companion, Bill Cheever. Sheryl and Bill made their home north of Madison five years ago and they have been together ever since.
