Cheryl Walker Lynn, 75, passed away Tuesday December 3, 2024, at the Heritage Inn in Charlottesville, Virginia. Born May 31, 1949, she was the daughter of the late Burton Frederick Walker and Emily Walker-Miklas of Lake Monticello.

Cheryl was an accomplished professional and spent many years as a Research Scientist for the Virginia Department of Transportation. She enjoyed her work and was proud of her contributions. She retired from VDOT’s Virginia Transportation Research Council in 2011.

In her free time, she enjoyed spending time with friends, hanging out at home with her animals, enjoying a visit to a winery or simply going out for a nice dinner.

Cheryl appreciated true friendships and she adored her many pets that she adopted over the years. Cheryl wanted her friends to know that she “loved them very much and that life made her happy”.
