On Sunday, February 26, 2023, Cheryl Elaine Branch breathed her final breath and died peacefully in the evening. She was surrounded by family, and a prayer service was offered as we shared our love in prayer and song before she passed.

Cheryl was born in Chicago, on December 8, 1959, to Doris J. (Hayes) Branch and Rev. Lonnie L. Branch. She was the youngest daughter of six children. In 1964, Cheryl was baptized into the Lutheran faith.

She is survived by her loving parents, Rev. Lonnie L. Branch and Doris (Hayes) Branch; siblings, Patricia Humphrey (Branch), Michael (Patty) Branch, Keith Branch, and David (Rebecca) Branch; nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles and many cousins. She was preceded in death by her older brother, Terrance Branch. Cheryl was the spiritual rock for her nieces and nephews; an awesome cousin, and supportive friend to many.

The Branches invite you to join in celebrating Cheryl's life on Thursday, March 16th at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1800 Glenwood Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55405. Visitation at 2:00 pm followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 3:00pm.
