Obituary: Koch, Cheryl Anne (Depner)
Age 50
Cheryl was born on June 2, 1964 in Billings, MT to Arthur and Elizabeth Depner, the youngest of nine children.
Contending with seven brothers, James, Dan, Jerry, Steve, Greg, Joe, Chuck, and sister, Mary, Cheryl’s voice may have been the tiniest, but one to be reckoned with.
Cheryl graduated from Billings West High School in 1982.
Many happily married years were spent working side-by-side with her husband, Denis, as they built and grew three Tune-Tech automotive repair shops in Spokane, WA.
One daughter, Ashley Marie, was born the apple of Cheryl’s eye and the tender to her heart; taking Ashley to gymnastics and curling Ashley’s hair was a special part of each day as a mother for Cheryl.
Cheryl enjoyed visiting Mexico and the Caribbean.
Cheryl’s graciousness in opening her home to family for holiday dinners was a joy and will always be cherished.
She had a great sense of humor and was a very generous person with a fun spirit.
We love you and will miss you greatly.
A Memorial Service was held on Friday, January 2, 2015 in Spokane, WA.
