Cheri was a fierce advocate for children in crisis. She dedicated her life to giving kids a voice, a protector. She held a BS in Family Relations and Child Development from OSU and in 2019 received her Masters in Counseling from OU. She worked in one of the toughest careers and helped elevate countless colleagues. No one is an island in this career field. They rely on each other for comfort, direction and strength. Cheri’s legacy cannot be put in words. She counseled me on what to do or say for countless kids in my classroom for the last 20 years. I imagine she did the same for her colleagues. Then there are the families that she dealt with directly. Her light is truly endless.
In an effort to continue that light, we are establishing the Cheri Aymer Powell Scholarship forstudents pursuing a degree in the mental health field. Donations can be made here for convenience or sent to:
