Cheryl Kinder

Cheryl Lynn Kinder, age 58, lost her long battle with Auto Immune Disease on December 18, 2022 at Saint Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau. She was born to William Eli JR. and Jannette Pogue on June 28, 1964 in Jonesboro, AR. She and David Kinder were married October 10, 1987. Cheryl was a 1982 graduate of Puxico high school, (where she acquired the nickname "Peryl"); a 1984 graduate of Three Rivers Community College of Poplar Bluff; and a 1986 graduate of Southeast Missouri State University. She was active in sports but loved cheer leading, and was a member of the cheer leading squad at all three schools. After graduation, she worked at First Federal Savings and Loan, then she established and operated Kinder Appraisal Company. Additionally, she was instrumental in founding the family business - First Auto Credit, Jackson, Missouri. Cheryl was a member of the First Christian Church in Puxico and, after marriage, worshipped with the Kinder family at Hanover Lutheran Church in Cape. She loved many things including her favorite son Jared Eli, she spent many miles driving and many hours cheering to support him at his soccer games. Entertaining gave her great joy, she utilized her remarkable culinary skills to prepare many great meals - which were generously shared with friends and family. Cheryl's other hobbies included collecting shells, camping, fishing, and walking the beach, especially on Sanibel Island in Florida. She was very social, and frequented the Pilot House or the American Legion Hall on Sanibel, where, on any given evening, she could be found surrounded by friends while she enjoyed a Salem Slim and a Crown and Seven for happy hour. Survivors include her husband, David Kinder of Cape; and son, Jared Eli Kinder of Jackson. Other survivors include her brother, Gary (Janet) Pogue, of Jackson; father-in-law, Elroy Kinder of Cape; brother-in-law, John Kinder; and sister-in- laws, Jill (Chris) Haman, and Kathy Kinder all of Jackson; plus her nephew, Clint Pogue of California; and her furry friend, Lily. Cheryl was preceded in death by her parents; and her mother-in-law, Mary Susan Kinder.
