Cheryl Riggins

Cheryl Riggins, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2024, at the age of 74 in Mauldin, South Carolina. Born on January 27, 1950, in Greenville, SC, Cheryl lived a life marked by devotion to her family, a passion for music, and a legacy of warmth that touched everyone she knew.

Cheryl's early years were spent in the enchanting world of Disney, where she brought joy and magic to many as a young employee at Disney World. Her love for vibrant storytelling and enchanting experiences stayed with her throughout her life. Eventually, Cheryl embraced the role of a homemaker, a vocation she performed with unparalleled grace and dedication. She created a home filled with love, laughter, and the sweet melodies of her favorite singer, Rod Stewart.

Her life was a testament to the power of love and the importance of family. Cheryl was the cherished mother of Jamie (Stephanie) Riggins of Marietta, Cheri (Nelson) Ramos of Fountain Inn, Christopher Parker of Spartanburg, and Justin Riggins of Greenville, SC. She was a doting grandmother to Danielle, Morgan, and Taylor, and a proud great-grandmother to Mason and Myliah Hawkins, and Landon Burton. Her sister, Deborah Bratcher, and her brother, Danny (Debbie) Davis, will remember her as the loving and thoughtful presence that always brought comfort and joy to their lives.

Cheryl's interests extended beyond her family; she was an avid collector of Emmett Kelly figurines, each piece a symbol of the elegance and beauty she appreciated in the world. Her love for music was a constant companion, and she could often be found humming a tune or swaying to a classic Rod Stewart hit.

Those who knew Cheryl will remember her as the embodiment of love, kindness, and thoughtfulness. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel special, listened to, and cared for. Her gentle spirit and compassionate nature were her gifts to the world, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she encountered.

Cheryl's departure from this world leaves behind a void that cannot be filled. Yet, her legacy of love continues to live on through her family and the countless lives she touched. As we say goodbye to Cheryl Riggins, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a soul that will forever inspire us to be more loving, kind, and thoughtful in our own journeys.

Cheryl's life will be commemorated in a private ceremony, surrounded by her beloved family and close friends. Her memory will be cherished, her laughter missed, and her spirit celebrated for generations to come.
