Cheri Lynn Hayden

Cheri Lynn Hayden (Collins), affectionately known as Cherbear, graced this world on March 4, 1969. After a life filled with cherished moments, she peacefully passed away in her home on July 17, 2023, at the age of 54. Her earthly journey unfolded in Rupert.

Cheri Lynn was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents and her dear mother, Sharon Sanada, as well as her stepfather, Neil Sanada.

In 1995, she entered a loving union with Ray Hayden, and together they forged a beautiful life. Left to honor her memory are her son, Shaine Smith, daughter, Mandi Winter, stepson, Michael Hayden, father, Mike Collins, brother, Bradley Sanada, sister, Jennifer Sanada, brother, Mick Collins. Cheri Lynn's heart swelled with pride for her cherished grandchildren: Jaden, Corbin, Jacob, Ryan, and Lexi.

Her unconditional love extended not only to her family but also to her faithful canine companion, Buggy. Cheri Lynn's greatest joys were found in the company of her family and friends. From the simple pleasures of camping, hot tubbing, fishing, and gardening, to the creative endeavor of making videos, she embraced life fully.

Cheri Lynn's absence leaves a void that will be felt by many. As she spreads her wings to join the angels, her memory will forever remain etched in our hearts.

A celebration of this remarkable life is planned for August 12, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, at the serene Lake Walcott Dooley Gazebo. The arrangements have been thoughtfully entrusted to the care of Joel Heward Hansen Mortuary. Let us come together to commemorate a life that touched us all.
