Cheryle Ann Chitwood, 68, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2026. Cheryle was born on January 19, 1958, to Alice and Robert Fosnough. She was preceded in death by her husband, Rick Simon.
Cheryle is survived by her children, Frank (Tasha) Simon and Jeramie (Rae Ann) Simon; and her brothers, Ronald Fosnough and Richard Fosnough.
She was also preceded in death by her siblings, Judy, Debbie, and Robert.
Cheryle recently gave her life to the Lord, a decision that brought her great peace and is a meaningful part of the legacy she leaves behind. Her faith and relationship with Jesus Christ became an important part of her final chapter.
Cheryle was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. She also held a special place in the hearts of the staff who cared for her at University Nursing Home in Upland, Indiana. Their compassion, kindness, and care for Cheryle meant so much to her and her family, and she was loved by those who had the privilege of caring for her.
Cheryle had a special love for her pets, who brought her companionship, comfort, and joy. She also cherished her grand pups, who were a beloved part of her family and brought her plenty of happiness.
Those who knew Cheryle will remember her for the simple things that brought her joy. She loved watching true crime shows, working on puzzle books, collecting stuffed animals, and enjoying home-cooked meals. These little pieces of everyday life were uniquely hers and are memories her family will treasure.
She will be remembered not only for the love she gave, but for the little things that made her unmistakably Cheryle.
