In a life painted with joy and vibrant connections, our beloved Cheryl Long transitioned on November 24, 2023. With open arms and an artist's eye for beauty, she turned everyone she met into family. As a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Cheryl left a legacy of artistic passion and unwavering belief in others.

Her spirit resonates in the little moments we celebrate, just as she planned this gathering before she left. Join us on Saturday, April 13, at the United Methodist Church in Ellensburg, Washington, as we raise a brush and a toast to Cheryl's vibrant life. Together, we will share stories, laughter, and perhaps even unleash our inner artist, just as she would have loved.

Please join your organizing hosts Tom Long, Tristan Jorgensen, Pat Hodges, Sandy Brown Jensen, and Toren Brolutti in a Celebration of Life for Cheryl.
