Cheryl Jane Solomon

Cheryl Jane Solomon, 66 of Wilkinson went home peacefully, Friday, January 7, 2022 at her residence.

Cheryl was escorted by her beautiful Savior into His dwelling place exactly as the sun was setting on the horizon on Friday afternoon. The sun was still shining through the window onto her lovely face as she took her last breath with her family. She no longer needs the sun, which she always loved. She is now with the Son, whom she loved incomparably more and now worships and dances in the fullness of His presence. God has been so good.

Cheryl enjoyed being in the outdoors, camping and gardening. She loved writing letters of encouragement to those who were burdened, seen and unseen. Her family was her joy, raising and teaching four daughters to be women of God. Her three grandchildren brought a new season of joy into her life. And her devotion to her husband never wavered.
Her nursing care stretched well beyond the hospital into the community, church and neighbors, never passing by someone who needed care. Her ministry to others was a vivid example of Jesus’ command to love your neighbor as yourself.

She was born March 19, 1955, in Pasadena, California the daughter of the late Roderick and Jane (Reist) Highfield.

Cheryl was a registered nurse at St. Vincent Hospital in Anderson for 25 years before retiring in 2007. She was a member of the Professional Nursing Association & Christ Fellowship Church.

She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Kurt Solomon; daughters, Charis Solomon of San Francisco, Cindy (Scott) Malefyt of Kijabe Kenya, Miriam (Matthew) Henry of Anderson and Beth Solomon of Indianapolis; grandchildren, Clare & Samuel Malefyt and Blayke Henry; sister, Linda (James) Everet of Anderson, several nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers; David & Randall Highfield, one grandchild, and nephew Cory Elza Fisher.

Due to the recurrence of COVID-19, the family is concerned about the health and safety of all family and friends. Therefore, at this time there will be a private family funeral. There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date.
