This is a brief story of one of life’s unexplainable tragedies. No one wanted this to happen, no one, and only God knows why it occurred.
Cheryl L. McDonald (nee Hinz) age 44 of West Milford suddenly on Saturday, January 3, 2009 at home.
She was born in Hoboken and spent her formative years in Pompton Lakes moving to West Milford fifteen years ago.
Cheryl received her formal education at Pompton Lakes High School graduating with the Class of 1982. She went on to study at Stockton State University in Pomona, New Jersey where she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing. She also went to William Paterson University in Wayne and received a Masters Degree in Psychology.
She enjoyed sports and was active in the West Milford Softball and Basketball League.
Cheryl, by nature, was a very ambitious person who always strove to be the best she could be at whatever she did. She was very dedicated to her family and was the best Mom anyone could ask for. She was very close to her Mother and Father and her Brothers; a true family person.
She was especially close to her son Kevin who is age twelve. You could safely say that he was her whole world, and he will tell you she was the best Mom anyone could ever have.
This Mother worked as a “Human Resources” professional directly from her home and was a twenty-four seven mother. Parenting does not get any better than that.
Cheryl was gifted with an extroverted and Happy personality. She readily socialize with others, causing her to have many friends. We would be remiss if we did not mention that she also had a Big Heart and often reached out to others in their happy times of celebration and life difficulties.
Frank and Cheryl met on a blind date and had fifteen years of happy and loving marriage together.
Surviving are her loving husband Frank McDonald; two sons Kevin and Scott McDonald both of West Milford; her loving parents Dr. & Mrs. Charles Hinz of Ocean Pines, Maryland; two brothers Kenneth Hinz and his wife Karen, Charles Hinz and his wife Stasy both of Kinnelon.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Cheryl’s memory are asked to consider The Kevin McDonald College Fund, P.O. Box 153, Butler, NJ 07405
