The news that Cheryl Blume was chosen as Flagstaffâs 2020 Female Citizen of the Year came as a surprise to no one except for Blume herself.
Throughout her years in Flagstaff, Blume has consistently worked and volunteered to better the community, an effort that has continued to this day.
But in the face of those efforts, Blume is modest. She says that may be because it was simply how she was raised.
Growing up in Monticello, Illinois, Blume said, both her parents emphasized volunteer service as something one should always be involved in.
âMy family never really thought you were doing this for an award or anything. It was just kind of because this is what you do to make your community thrive and healthy and grow. And that s what you re supposed to be doing,â Blume said. âIt was kind of an expectation.â
