Cheryl Joan Jungers

Cheryl Jungers, 74, previously of Elgin, IL, went home to her heavenly Father on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. Cheryl was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 12, 1952, to Bob and Joan Sharapata.

She married Bernard Joseph Jungers on August 19, 1972, and they were happily married for 54 years. They have two children, Kelly (Jungers) Schulz and Ryan Jungers, and 2 grandsons-Andreas and Barrett Schulz. Cheryl has 3 brothers, Wayne, Glen, and Scott Sharapata. She has three sisters-in-law, Mary, MaryLou, and Carrie, as well as many other relatives and friends. Preceding her in death were her parents, Bob and Joan Sharapata, and her brother Wayne.

Cheryl was a great daughter, wife, mother, sister, and aunt. And, based on the sheer number of friends who have reached out since her passing, she was a fantastic friend to so many!

Cheryl worked in sales for many years, and she owned her own children’s clothing store in Elgin with her sister-in-law, Mary, and another friend. She volunteered her time with the Elgin Jaycees, helping in soup kitchens, painting homes of elderly Elgin residents, and singing Christmas Hymns at nursing homes.

The funeral service for Cheryl will be held at:

St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church

Fort Myers, FL 33905

The day and time will be announced shortly.
