This is the story of Cheryl Kaye (Graves) Carpenter. Cheryl was a wonderfully stubborn woman who enjoyed having the last word in an argument about as much as she enjoyed getting in a bidding war at an auction. She, of course, loved her family and friends too.
She was born in September of 1958 in Nevada, Missouri. Her parents, Harold (Shorty) and Permelia (Moody) Graves, and her big brothers, Wilson and Michael Graves, were excited to welcome her to her home in El Dorado Springs. As a child she enjoyed caring for her pets, playing sports, going fishing, and spending time with her family. She especially enjoyed family road trips to California to visit her Aunt and cousins. These are things she would continue to enjoy the rest of her life.
