After graduation in the fall of 1966, Cheryl went to Salt Lake City, Utah and attended Stephen Henegar’s Business College where she earned a degree in Business in 1968. She worked for a short time for Electro Controls before returning back to Buhl, Idaho and met up with her high school sweetheart, Arnold (Arnie) Dean Ringenberg.

Cheryl enjoyed life to the fullest with her many activities. She loved driving her 1938 blue Chevy Coupe, going on razer rides in the desert, loves traveling and cruising with both family and friends, making Heritage books for many of her family and friends, water aerobics of the Y and walking with her dear friend, Carol Lee.
