In Loving Memory of Cheri (Lacock) Grachek

UPDATE: Thank you to all for your generosity in donating to Cheri's memorial fund to benefit Savannah's education. We are so grateful for helping us reach our goal of $10,000. What an incredible and lasting tribute to Cheri's memory.

Future contributions will be applied toward the family's outstanding financial obligations, including the memorial service and related costs, medical, and other household expenses.

My name is Candice Lacock, sister of Cheri Ann (Lacock) Grachek. Cheri was tragically taken from us too soon this past Sunday, January 8th, at the age of 44. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter and sibling and a talented nail technician to all of her clients.

Cheri’s husband, Nick, has chosen for all memorials and contributions to be donated to their daughter Savannah’s fund. This fund will support Savannah’s continued education. No amount is too small. Contributing to this fund is the most helpful form of support to the family, in addition to your prayers.

From the Obituary of Cheri Ann (Lacock) Grachek

She was born on May 22, 1978, in Peoria, to Denise Oedewaldt and Robert Lacock.

Cheri is survived by her loving husband, Nicolas Grachek; daughter, Savannah Grachek; mother, Denise (Dean Rabe) Oedewaldt; father, Robert (Michelle) Lacock; mother-in-law, Genie (Loyd) Hurn; father-in-law, Michael (Roe) Grachek; brother, Robert E. Lacock; sister, Candi (Aaron Cunningham); nephew, Noah Cunningham; and step-sister, Nicole Frank.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Robert and Musetta Lacock, Bruce and Virginia Oedewaldt, and Geri Oedewaldt; and an infant sister, Ginny Maria Lacock.

Cheri was a gifted nail technician and owner of Nails by Cheri. She enjoyed attending her daughter's volleyball matches, watching Lifetime movies, and trips to Wisconsin. She loved laying around with her cat Dodge, and a warm blanket. Cheri will be remembered for her heart of gold, bright smile, and larger than life personality.

A visitation will be held from 4-7 PM on Friday, January 13, 2023, at Davison-Fulton Woodland Chapel with a memorial service to follow. Cremation will be accorded following the services. Memorials may be made to the family or to Savannah’s education fund. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at Davison-Fulton.com
