HOAR, Cheryle "Ann"
Cheryle, beloved and cherished daughter of Patricia R. Hoar, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, (November 22, 2006). She is survived by her devoted sister, Jean Larson of New Britain; loving friends, Mary and Rob Wright; and sons, Erik and Karl of Coventry. Cheryle was predeceased by her father, Clarence "Mannie" Hoar. Cheryle was born June 17, 1953 in Manchester. She was a member of MARC Association of Manchester for many years. Cheryle was involved in many activities throughout her life including IOH swimming and various Special Olympics events. Her favorite events were softball and Tri-Cycling. When she stopped competing in Special Olympics, she joined the MARC Bowling League. Her mother was her strongest supporter and constant cheerleader. Cheryle's trophies were displayed proudly in her room. Also displayed proudly were many Olympic medals and photographs, in which she posed for the camera like a true star! Her favorite event was dancing at the year end MARC Bowling Banquet. She worked at many different jobs sponsored by MARC in her lifetime. Some included Jenny Bakery, Vernon Bakery and Scan Optics. Her paycheck gave her far more satisfaction and rewards beyond the monetary value of them. She was a loving, giving child and adult who was never limited by her disability. She loved her pets, her friends, her family, and everyone she came in contact with. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her family would especially like to thank all of those individuals who cared for and about her throughout her life. The support, care, and love they have given Cheryle, and her family have been constant and cherished. They include the Staff at MARC, the MARC clients, and close friends of her sister and mother, the Harmon and Meehan families. A very special thank you to the "Family" at the New Season's Greenwood Group home and the Hospice staff. The staff at this home took care of her as one of their own family, and words cannot express the families gratitude for her compassionate care received in her last years. Cheryle is survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins in the area as well as a great aunt and great uncle in Pennsylvania. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the Manchester Association of Retarded Citizens, 376R Middle Tnpk West, Manchester, CT 06040 or New Season's 243 Main St., Manchester, CT 06040 or The Visiting Nurse Association of East Hartford, 111 Founders Plaza, East Hartford, CT 06108.
