Cheryl Jewel Wotherspoon, 96, of Swanton, passed away on July 8, 2026, at Dennett Rehab Center. Born on January 14, 1930, in Homestead, PA, she was the daughter of the late Clarence G. and Jewel (McKarey) Anderson.

Cheryl was a devoted member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church and a woman whose faith was expressed through quiet, consistent service to others. Prior to the opening of Christian Crossing, she helped lay its foundation and continued to volunteer, giving generously of herself to support the organization's mission. She also worked as an insurance clerk at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Beyond her church, volunteer work, and career, Cheryl found joy in many pursuits that reflected her active and creative spirit. She was an avid golfer and a former member of the Oakland Country Club. She loved to paint, and some of her happiest hours were spent swimming and water skiing on Deep Creek Lake. Cheryl was also a longtime member of the Mountain Laurel Garden Club, where her appreciation for beauty and nature found another meaningful outlet.

She is survived by her son, Gary G. Wotherspoon and wife Thaliah of Swanton; grandchildren, Matthew Wotherspoon and wife Lindsay, Heather Hartle and husband Paul, and Philip Wotherspoon and wife Tatiana; great-grandchildren, Laina J. Hartle, Paul J. Hartle IV, Jack Wotherspoon, and Ellie Rey Wotherspoon; and siblings, Doris Kubli of Swanton and L. Jean Layton also of Swanton.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, Walter M. Wotherspoon, to whom she married on December 5, 1950; and one son, Craig W. Wotherspoon.
