Cheryl Armbrust

Cheryl Armbrust, born August 29th, 1949, passed away peacefully in Austin on July 1st, 2024 of complications from Alzheimer’s. Cheryl is survived by her loving family including her husband of 54 years, David, her two children Allison and John, her son-in-law Eric deYoung, and her two grandsons, Owen and Quinn.

Cheryl loved her family dearly and was a devoted, loving, and caring wife, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, friend, and confidante to everyone in her life. Cheryl’s life was centered around her friends and family. From the moment they met at an intramural soccer field at New Mexico State University, she became the wind beneath David’s wings, and words cannot express how much she will be missed.

Cheryl was amazingly talented in so many ways. Upon graduating from college in just two and a half years with honors, Cheryl worked as a certified public accountant and then paused her career after Allison and John were born to devote herself to her family. Cheryl subsequently went back to school and earned a PhD in Psychology from The University of Texas, and went on to assist many people as a beloved Therapist until her retirement. Cheryl always made time to give back to the community through her volunteer efforts for various nonprofit causes.

Her family wishes to thank the amazing staff at The Village at The Triangle as well as Sonder Hospice, and her three incredible caregivers - Laurie Chinnici, Monique Limon, and Ashley Higgins - each of whom contributed enormously to the quality of the end of Cheryl's life.

Contributions in remembrance of Cheryl can be made to Austin Achieve Public Schools: www.austinachieve.org

Cheryl's life will be celebrated at a service in August.
