November 26, 2025
Cheryl Heimgartner (Swan) passed away suddenly on Nov. 26, 2025 at the age of 69.
Beloved wife of Casey, married in joy of 52 years. Treasured Mother of Robert, Roxanne, Casey and Jason. Mother in law of Steve. Extremely proud Oma to Mason. Whos bond between was deeply profound. And Ashley, whom She loved and Admired fervently. Sister to Richard, Patricia, Dennis and Betty Jean. Joined in afterlife with her Mother and Father Blanche and Sam Swan. Also her brother and sister, David and Sandra. Sister in law to Henriette and Jo-anne. Extended family included John Damen and Willimena Morley.
Cheryl and Casey grew together from small town roots. And as roots in the soil, they twined together to build a foundation for a Marriage in which each were the others world. Two half souls whom found each other beyond chance. To become a single whole Cheryl spent her life tirelessly giving to others. She was a Mother and a Wife and a teacher and a healer. She was the lifeblood and bond that was family.
To know Cheryl, was to know life in its wonder and exuberance. Cheryl saw beauty everywhere, and that is what she reflected. To fall within her orbit, meant to believe in fairy tales come true. She radiated magic and light as she danced through life.
Cheryl loved to craft and paint. She was always baking and giving treats to family and friends. Nobody ever left her home without a bag full of love made manifest in delicious goods.
She always said there are no bad people, they just needed to be understood. Her heart was full of love for all. She thrived in the outdoors and planting flowers and all the smells and colours. She was deeply in tune with nature and the earth.
She was a fierce negotiator, and could regularly be found enjoying early morning garage sales, where often she would return with the car filled of wonders.
Cheryl’s favorite time of year was Christmas. She was fanatical about the season. The honest pure joy of the season, and all its facets of love and giving and family and faith; were at Cheryl’s core, very much whom she was. She was the essence of Christmas magic.
Cheryl was a woman of faith. An unshakable belief in Her God. The Angels She knew were always around. And the mantra of what you put out in the Universe is returned. She wove light constantly with her Faith.
With anguished prayers, we hope that She as an Angel now, adorned with Cardinal wings, will know how loved She was, and how terribly she will be missed.
Thank you to everyone who expresses support. As per Cheryls wishes, there will be no funeral service or visitation.
