Cheryl Elaine Wilde went through the Golden Gates of Heaven to be with our Lord on Feb. 21, 2025. The family will receive friends from 9 a.m. until 9:30 a.m., February 28, at St. Lawrence Catholic Church. Rosary will begin at 9:30 a.m. followed by the Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at St. Lawrence Catholic Cemetery. Cheryl was born June 24, 1974 in Big Spring. She lived with her parents Leroy and Virginia "Jeanie" Wilde and her sister, Deanna for six years. After problems finding help for her handicap, she was moved to Abilene. At the age of 14, a more suitable place became available in Midland. She lived in a home with five other handicapped children owned by MARC/Spectrum Solutions until they moved her to another home. She lived there until her death.
She is survived by her parents Leroy and Jeanie Wilde; sister Deanna Appling and husband Ron of Midland; brother Jason Wilde and wife Jessica of Campbellsburg, IN; eight nieces and nephews; and numerous aunts and uncles.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents RB and Alice Wilde and Walter and Elenora Niehues; uncles Phil Everett, Calvin Werner, Floyd Wilde; godfather Charles Pechacek; and aunt Merlene Kouba.
We would like to thank the wonderful nurses at Midland Memorial Hospital for taking care of her in her last days on earth. We would also like to thank hospice for helping us the last day of her life and being there for us.
Most of all we want to say thank you to all the employees at Spectrum Solutions for the great care they gave her for 36 ½ years and to all the employees who came to the hospital to see her.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her name may be sent to Spectrum Solutions, 2701 North A Street, Midland, TX 79705.
Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home and Crematory of Big Spring. Online condolences can be made at www.npwelch.com
