Cheryl Ann

Keckler

Cheryl Ann Keckler, age 60 of Parkville and Three Rivers, MI passed away at The Orchards on November 8, 2026 following a brief illness. She was born in Vicksburg, MI on December 19, 1965. Cheryl attended Three Rivers High School and was part of the 1983 graduating class.

Cheryl was a family-oriented woman, making sure she always attended the Sunday dinners with those she loved. She adored the women in her life, passing down her obsession with scented candles and body sprays. Cheryl just loved to have fun and have a great time with those dearests to her; and yes, she could be blunt with you if need be. She enjoyed her dogs and cats, word search puzzles, and listening to country music (the good kind). Cheryl was a sucker for Tanya Tucker, Shania Twain, and Meatloaf. Reading mystery novels, watching Mel Brooks films, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and her beloved Soap Operas was a must. Her family meant the world to her, which is why she was known as mom to many.

Cheryl is survived by her friend and spouse of nearly 30 years, Donald Ballman; her daughter, Danielle Ballman; her grandson, William; her brother, Edwin Keckler; her nieces-turned-daughters, Daisy, Rebecca, and Jennifer; and many extended family members and friends. She was preceded in passing by her in-laws, L.D. and Norene Ballman and Sheryl Ballman; and her brother, Laurence Keckler.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation is being conducted. A celebration of Cheryl’s life will be held at a later date. It is suggested that donations made in her memory be directed to her family to help cover expenses. Condolences and memories may be expressed to her family at eickhofffuneralhome.com
