Cheryl J. "Cheri" Smuck, 78, of Manheim, passed away on Friday, March 29, 2024 at Hospice & Community Care of Mt. Joy.

Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Robert W. and Dorothy M. (Smith) Stauffer. She was the loving wife of Charles "Charlie" Smuck for 59 years.

Cheri dedicated 32 years of her life to the Internal Medicine Association of Ephrata, leaving a lasting impact on all those she worked with and cared for. As a respected member and sacristan at St. James Catholic Church, Cheri volunteered for many church events, especially the annual Bazaar. By being a member of the knitting group, making perogies and volunteering countless other hours, she contributed to the success of the event every year. She also supported the Fulton Theater by volunteering as a host. She found joy in supporting others and offering comfort to those around her in need.

In her leisure time, Cheri loved playing Chinese Mahjong, knitting, solving puzzles, reading, water aerobics and participating in social events.

Most precious to Cheri's heart was her family. She is survived by her husband, Charlie; her daughters, Tami (Christopher) Schiavone and Lori Eddy; her sister, Lois Williams; her grandchildren, Elie, Bridgette, Brittany, Jason, Drew, Eric and Stephanie; and four great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Audrey Hirko.
