Cheryl Joanne Cody

Cheryl Joanne Forster Cody passed away on October 16, 2015, surrounded by her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by her devoted husband of 34 years, Dr. Ken Cody, and three beautiful daughters, Kimberly (Tyler Merriman), Heather, and Chelsea, who have been devoted to her care during her 3 year battle with ALS. Cheryl also leaves behind her mother, Arline Herr Forster; four siblings: George Forster (Marilyn Harris), Monte Forster (Terry), Leslie Bateman (Scott), and Vicki Worthen (Mark); her sister-in-law Lynn Stevenson (Cal) and brother-in-law Randy Cody (Sandy); 18 nieces and nephews and 14 grand-nieces and nephews; as well as many dear friends. Cheryl is looking forward to seeing her father Stan Forster again who predeceased her in 2010. Cheryl was born on May 7, 1952, in Vancouver, B.C. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Cheryl was outgoing and kind; a friend to all. She was a gifted artist and teacher who loved to travel, read, play games, exercise, and volunteer. Cheryl was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Church). Her great faith in God never wavered during her long ordeal, and her courage and dignity were an inspiration to all. Her family would like to thank her caregivers, family, and friends who rallied around her to make her last months as comfortable as possible, as well as the ALS society for its support. A memorial service to honor Cheryl’s life will be held on Friday, October 23, 2015, at 2:00 PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – West Stake Centre, 6560 Silver Springs Crescent NW. In lieu of flowers those who desire may make memorial donations in memory of Cheryl to the ALS Society of Alberta at www.alsab.ca
