Cheryle Lynn Vandeventer, 70, of Terre Haute passed away on Saturday, April 18, 2026. She was born on August 21, 1955, to William Bert Gregory and Lynnie Sanders Gregory. Cheryle was an active member of the First Southern Baptist Church of Terre Haute. At the church she would teach arts and crafts as well as sewing. She was very talented and enjoyed sewing and crocheting. She belonged to the Sewing Connection. While at Westminster Village she loved to play bingo and visit with the other residents. Most of all being a mother and grandmother brought her the most joy. Lovingly called “Yellow Grandma” by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, being there to cheer them on with their activities and spending time with them was her greatest treasure.
