Cheryl Ann Humes

April 26, 1947 - January 20, 2021

Cheryl Ann Margrey Humes passed away Wednesday, January 20, 2021 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Cheryl was born to Leonard and Eleanor Margrey in Providence, Rhode Island on April 26, 1947. She was a graduate of Warwick Veterans Memorial High School in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Cheryl and her husband, William “Bill” Humes, moved to Hampton Roads in 1977 as a result of Bill’s Naval career. She worked as a merchandiser for several different greeting card companies before she retired from American Greetings in 2002. At that time, she decided to retire to stay at home and take care of her grandchildren.

In addition to being predeceased by her parents, Cheryl was also predeceased by her husband and her brother, Robert L. Margrey. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Kimberly A.Champion with her husband, Richard and her son, Kevin W. Humes with his wife, Kimberly. She also leaves behind five beloved grandchildren: Conner Champion, Logan Champion, Tyler Champion, Kaitlyn Humes and Hailey Humes.

My sincere sympathy to Cheryl's family. I went to high school with Cheryl and worked with her at Traveler's Insurance until I got married in 1967 and moved to Richmond, VA. Small world that we lived so close all these years and never reconnected. I kept looking on the VETS web site trying to reconnect with a few people but I never knew Cheryl's married name. Again, my deepest sympathy to your family. Mary (Cherry) Hertless

I loved Cheryl. She was my friend we would tell each other we were wrong about something and laugh about something 10 minutes later. After I moved to Texas and then Florida we talked at least every other week. She was so special. I will miss her so much. Just today I heard something and said I can’t wait to tell Cheryl that. Goodbye my friend. Happy trails just like your favorite Dale Evens.

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
