28 Nov Cherryle Dawn Evertsen
Cherryle Dawn Evertsen, 1942- 2022, Our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother passed into the arms of her sweetheart, David Evertsen, on November 21, 2022, from heart failure. She leaves behind a legacy of 3 children, Kristie (Todd) Bridge, Darci (Bob) Kendrick, and Gavin Evertsen, 8 Grandchildren, and 9 Great Grandchildren. Cherryle (aka Cherry & CherBear) loved her family more than anything. She lived for them. She spent many of her years working at the Hotel Utah in the banquet department as a server and then manager. In her later years she was an avid volunteer at Red Butte Garden, oftentimes winning yearly volunteer awards due to her dedication. She had a love for the community and a passion for gardening. She also volunteered at Museum of Natural History, Capitol Theatre, Utah Symphony, and Eccles Theatre. She loved serving first in the Rose Park 29th ward, and later in the Rose Park 9th ward.
She was adventurous, traveling domestic and internationally and has many fridge magnets to show for it! She also loved her many years at Bear Lake with family, and traveling to Vashon Island, Washington.
We will miss her big happy smile, spunk, and humor. She very much enjoyed being in community and the many circles where she inserted herself showed her passion for connection.
She had a weakness for popcorn, had great fashion sense, and adored Winnie the Pooh.
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together…there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart…I’ll always be with you”.
-Winnie the Pooh
Services will be held at City View Mortuary, 1001 E 11th Ave., Salt Lake City, 84103

Posted at 10:13h, 16 DecemberI had the pleasure of meeting and volunteering with Cherry at Red Butte Garden. I was a newbie to the garden and SLC. She was welcoming and shared her knowledge and kindness freely. She will be missed by me and so many others. Rest in Peace Dear Cherry.
