Cheryl Hella-Gonzales. Born August 15, 1958. Died December 7, 2006. Our Little Cheri. Cheri was tiny in size, but huge in spirit. She endured more during her lifetime than most of us can understand. She always found humor in every situation and her artistic abilities were wonderfully unique. Cheri was born in Marquette, MI but lived much of her life in South Carolina and New Mexico. She is survived by her children, Katie Gonzales and Connie Freeman of Moriarty, NM; her parents, Elwood Hella of Buffalo, SC; Pat Hella of Union, SC; her siblings, Roy Hella and wife, Jane, Loren Adcox and wife, Josie, Patty Vaughan and husband, Simp, Linda Kimmel and husband Ed, Constance Adcox-Lowden and husband, David, and Nanci Diz. She is also survived by five nieces and seven nephews. Cheri was preceded in death by her step-mother, Joan Hella; and her grandparents, Ted and Minnie Hella, Hank and Ethel Conley, and Frank Hollowinski. Services for Cheri will be held on Saturday, December 16, 2006 at the First Baptist Church of Estancia located at 301 South 8th Street in Estancia at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, family requests memorials may be made to Estancia Baptist Church in Estancia, NM 87016.
