Tributes paid to councillor with 'heart of gold'

admin

We have also reported this sad news on the front page of this site.

As it says in the tribute, Cheryl was involved deeply and passionately in the community, both as an independent councillor for the Cwmtillery Ward where she topped the poll at the last election, and as a columnist where she gathered and reported on local affairs and news for the Gwent Gazette, a column that also featured on the Cwmtillery website.

Cheryl knew almost everyone and everything in the town and everyone knew Cheryl!

I shall certainly miss chatting to her about life in Abertillery and Cwmtillery and on behalf of the Abertillery Online community, I should like to pass on our heartfelt condolences to her family and many friends.

I am deeply saddened on the death of Cheryl, I have known Cheryl all my life having lived a few doors from each other from childhood until marriage. When I came to the schoolre union I popped into the shop and we had a good natter about old time. I have also been in regular connect with Cheryl by e mail and phone.

Such sad news about the loss of a very special lady. Abertillery and the area will surely miss this vibrant and active supporter of the town. My sympathies go out to all her family and friends.

I too am saddened by the death of Mrs Cheryl Morris. She was a lovely lady who will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her.

Can't think of the year the World Trade Centre collapsed in New York but in that year Cheryl used to come to computers class down the Six Bells Community Centre and her next door neighbour Renee Williams was the tutor of the class. Cheryl was taking her old CLAIT and, like me, she passed and went on to write for the Gwent Gazette what was going on in Abertillery. That was the time I first met her and sometimes would pop into the shop to see how she was getting on in life. I was shocked on Tuesday morning on learning this sad news that she had died. She used to recycle old mobile phones and empty ink cartridges.

My sincere sympathies go out to her husband Malcolm and the rest of the family. Funeral is the 31st January.

R.I.P Cheryl. We will miss you

Diane
