Cheryl Ann Luth

With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Cheryl Ann Luth, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Cheryl departed this world peacefully on March 12, 2026, at the age of 77, surrounded by the love of her family. Her life began on November 7, 1948, in the picturesque town of Walla Walla, Washington, born to Richard Sr. and Mary Hess, both of whom she has now rejoined in eternal peace. Cheryl was the beloved wife of Daniel Luth, a love story that began in high school and blossomed into a marriage that lasted over 56 years. They wed in a beautiful ceremony at St. Vincent's De Paul Church in Salem, Oregon, in 1969, a union blessed with four wonderful children: sons Christopher, Joshua, and Joseph Luth, and daughter Nicole Oliver. Cheryl's legacy continues through her 11 adoring grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, each carrying forward her spirit and love. A devoted and compassionate caregiver, Cheryl pursued a career in nursing, receiving her degree from Sacred Heart Nursing in 1970. She dedicated her professional life to healing others, working at Salem Hospital in Pediatrics and later serving for two decades with Dr. McCullum and Dr. Farmer. Cheryl's nurturing nature extended beyond her professional life; she was the oldest of six siblings, a role she embraced with warmth and dedication. Cheryl's life was a rich tapestry of faith, family, and community. A lifelong member of St. Vincent's De Paul, she was an active participant in the church choir and altar society, contributing her voice and spirit to the community she loved dearly. Her hands were rarely still, always busy with sewing, crafting, and crocheting, skills she lovingly shared with her family. Cheryl found joy in shopping trips, cheering on her children and grandchildren at their sporting events, and immersing herself in the pages of a good book. Her kindness, strength, and unwavering support for her family and friends were the hallmarks of Cheryl's character. She was a loving and supportive wife, a devoted mother, and a proud grandmother whose heart knew no bounds. Cheryl's life was centered around her family, and her love will continue to shine brightly through the generations she nurtured. A service to honor Cheryl's remarkable life will be held on March 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM at St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church, located at 1010 Columbia St NE, Salem, OR 97301. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Dementia Society of America, reflecting Cheryl's compassionate spirit and her desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Cheryl Ann Luth was a beacon of love and care, a person whose presence enriched the lives of all who knew her. Her memory will forever remain in our hearts, a testament to a life well-lived and a love well-shared.
