EDGERTON, Mo. – Cheryl Ann (Kneale) Manville, 77, of Edgerton, Missouri, passed away Oct. 30, 2024.

She was born to James F. and Vivian I. (Lance) Kneale May 20, 1947, in St. Joseph. Cheryl graduated from Lafayette High School in 1965. She later attended Gard Business University in St. Joseph and worked for the News-Press and Gazette in the dispatch department. She married Larry Manville in 1966 and together had six children. They later divorced.

Cheryl’s first love was serving God through her music and the love she had for her children and grandchildren. She started playing organ and piano for church when she was 13 years old and started singing for church in her late teens and continued for many years.

She began her career of accompanying choirs and soloists and continued for 20 years. Being a stay-at-home mom, she began giving private piano lessons in 1986 and always cherished interaction with her students. She also enjoyed cooking, embroidery, quilting, crocheting, and visiting with family and friends. Cheryl also enjoyed growing flowers, gardening, and loved watching football.

In 1994, Cheryl’s new life began when she found salvation through Christ. She faithfully served Him and made Frazier Baptist Church her home. Her home now is with Jesus in heaven, praising Him through music.

She was preceded in death by her parents James and Vivian Kneale and her sister-in-law Jane Kneale.

Cheryl is survived by her children, Mark (Kathy) Manville, Steve (Tami) Manville, Gary (Angie) Manville, Natalie (Steve) Mummert, Jenny (Vance) Minor, and Chuck (Telena) Manville; 15 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; her brother, Michael Kneale; several nieces and nephews; other relatives and many friends.
