Cheryl E. Kitchens

of Little Rock, AR

February 18, 1951 - September 4, 2024

Cheryl Lowe Kitchens, passed away on September 4, 2024 at her home surrounded by her family.

A woman, who experienced enough adventure to fill two lifetimes, has started her greatest and final adventure of all.

Cheryl started her adventures in Memphis, Tennessee on February 18, 1951. Born to George and Margie Lowe and sister to Betty, Kathy and George. As a young girl, Cheryl found the Lord at church camp and lived her life dedicated to him.

A few years later, at the age of 15, she would start her love story, when she met a cute, dark haired, basketball player, with great legs. Andy and Cheryl quickly fell in love and got married when they were 19. They had a love that was so strong and beautiful, it left a mark on anyone that was around them and a marriage to be admired and strived for. A deep love and romance that was so intense, it could be felt up until her last breath.

Cheryl and Andy started their next adventure with the birth of their four sons, Jason, Micheal, Kevin and Brandon. The boys were her pride and joy and there could not have been a better mother to them. She matched their energy and strength and would never turn down a chance to show them that she could do anything they could do and maybe even better.

Cheryl passed her zest of life and adventure onto her boys, who have the greatest memories made up of travel, camping, snow skiing, water sports and tennis, just to name a few. Cheryl's spirit is rooted deep in all her boys and her legacy will live on through them. Cheryl balanced her time being a mother to four rowdy boys, playing lots of tennis and helping Andy run his dental practice, with the help of a lot of icy cold Diet Dr. Peppers.

Her sons would help her start her next adventure of being a mother-in-law to Jen, Jamie, Kathryn and Caroline. Her daughters-in-law would have some big shoes to fill and pies to bake. They would learn her recipes, be pushed out of their comfort zones to try new adventures and sports and strive to be like her in so many ways. The love and admiration they have for her is so strong and always will be.

Cheryl and Andy becoming ''Nana and Pops'' would be her next adventure. Cheryl loved being a grandmother and cherished her 11 grandkids. Justin (19), Alyssa (15), Andrew (14), Kinley (14), Josh (13), Katelyn (12), Maggie (11), Elizabeth (10), Sophie (10), Anna Claire (7) and Jonathan (4).

Cheryl loved sharing all of her hobbies with them and spending time at the family lake house, where lots of baking, water sports, family games, and George Strait was being played, and westerns were being watched. Her grandkids all have parts of her personality in them and will carry her spirit in all of their future adventures.

Into Cheryl and Andy's ''Golden Years'', they spent their time traveling, flying on Andy's plane, bonding with their grandkids and making memories as a family of 21 that will last forever.

Cheryl will be greatly missed. Her strong personality, her laugh, her zest for life, the sparkle in her blue eyes- will never be forgotten. But it is time for her greatest adventure yet. And we look forward to joining her in that one too, one day.

Services will be 2:30pm Monday, September 9th in the Chapel of Immanuel Baptist Church, Little Rock with Dr. Rex Horne officiating. Visitation will begin at 1:30pm, until service time. Burial will follow at Riverwood Memorial Gardens in Maumelle.
