| Published in The Miner on August 8, 2020 - Kingman, Arizona - Cheryl Estelle Berg, born Cheryl Estelle Sullivan, joined the Lord, peacefully in her sleep, on July 13. Cheryl was born on Dec. 2, 1946 to Thomas Charles and Cleo Hartman Sullivan in Arcadia, California. She grew up in Arcadia with a loving extended family. She was very proud of her years at Anokia school in Arcadia. She graduated from Arcadia High School in 1964. She also attended Pasadena City College and was proud of her civilian work for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. Following the loss of her father, Tom, in 1963, she welcomed her stepfather, William Kuyper, into the family with his three children. Cheryl married her beloved husband Arlan in February 1974, and joined him in Kingman, Arizona, where they made their home. She firmly supported Arlan in his career at the Kingman Police Department and his many civic and community responsibilities. Upon arriving to Kingman Cheryl picked up her civic duty on the Mohave County Sheriff’s Department. After leaving the sheriff’s department Cheryl went to work for Leonard and Gracie Neal and enjoyed almost a decade under their employment. Cheryl also enjoyed serving on the Mohave County Arts Council, the Kingman Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Mohave County Fair Board, among many other civic endeavors. Though she served those organizations with pride, her true passion was best expressed in her love of agriculture through the Mohave County Cowbells’ and the Cooperative Extension 4-H program. Cheryl served the children of Mohave County for almost two decades as a 4-H club and project leader and was a President of the Leaders’ Council. She often counted one of her greatest accomplishments as the formation of the 4-H Travel Club, where she shared her love of travel with children across the country. She remained an active supporter of 4-H throughout life, especially at the annual livestock auction, where she and Arlan continued to support the children of Kingman. Though she loved her community, her greatest passion was her family and friends. Cheryl joined her parents, stepfather, stepsister Debbie and many other beloved grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins in Heaven. She will continue to be loved and missed by her beloved husband Arlan; daughter, Amanda Evans (Dan); son, Erik (Amber); grandchildren, Thomas Evans, Coy, Blakelee, and Rylee Berg; brother Kevin Sullivan (Patti); step-brother Bob Kuyper (Katie); stepsister Kathy Tanamachi; several nieces and nephews; cousin Estelle Seaton, and many other cousins and special friends. Kingman friends held most dear to Cheryl include Becky Gross and family, Tiffany Leo and family, and the many “bonus children” she collected over the years through Amanda and Erik. Due to COVID-19, a celebration of Cheryl’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Cheryl’s name to Mohave County 4-H Leaders Council and the Arizona Cowpunchers Crisis Fund, PO Box 277, Humboldt, AZ, 86329. |
