Mrs. Cheryl A. Markland, age 45, of Newark, DE, passed away on Sunday, March 31, 2013.
A native Delawarean, Cheryl was born in Wilmington on June 21, 1967. She made her career in the banking industry, working as a customer service representative with the former MBNA in Newark.
Cheryl enjoyed many hobbies including reading, writing poetry, and listening to music–particularly classic rock and her favorite singer, Elton John. She was especially fond of animals throughout her life and tenderly nursed many wounded and strays back to health. Most of all, she was a beloved daughter and a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, whose happiest times were spent in the company of her cherished family.
She is survived by her husband, Joseph J. Markland; her daughter, Kimberly A. Flores of Newark; her son, Robert B. Hunt and fiancée Samantha Dicriscio of Newark; her mother, Beverly A. McCartney Hunt of Newark; her brothers, Tony Hunt and Steve Hunt of Newark and Danny Hunt and wife Michelle of Dover; her precious grandchildren whom she adored, Sierra, Savannah, Selena, Juan Jr., Bobby Jr., and Mariah (with another grandson due in July); and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Veril W. Hunt, and granddaughter, Shyanne M. Flores.
A funeral service will be held at 11 am on Tuesday, April 9, 2013, at the Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 1000 N. DuPont Parkway, New Castle, where visitation will begin at 10 am. Burial will be held privately and at the convenience of the family.
