It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passage of Cheryl Bergen of Carman, MB, formerly of Starbuck, MB on the morning of July 1, 2024 at the age of 65. Cheryl was born November 24, 1958 To Jake and Pearl Toews of Homewood MB.
Cheryl was the oldest of 2 children. Her and her younger brother Marvyn lost their Mom Pearl to cancer on January 5, 1965. They grew up on the farm by Homewood with their Dad who later remarried to Esther Neufeld July 15, 1971.
When Cheryl started school, she attended the Broadvalley one room schoolhouse before it closed and then went to Carman and graduated from Carman Collegiate in 1976. From a young age Cheryl was strong in her faith and participated in youth groups & choir with church. She began dating Jack Bergen of Starbuck, MB in 1973. Cheryl and Jack married March 27, 1976 – Divorced June 14, 2024. During their marriage they had 4 children and they farmed at Starbuck, MB. This gave Cheryl the opportunity to stay home and create. She loved crafting, sewing, gardening, decorating, and participating in theatrical productions at Homewood church. Cheryl loved having big family gatherings and having all her family home for the holidays. She enjoyed volunteering at MCC, book club, bible study and tea parties. She was currently living in Carman and enjoyed her clients in the homecare field. She made many friends in Carman and will be missed by all who knew her hearty laugh, smile and hugs.
