Cheryl Ann  York
ROCKLAND - Cheryl Ann York (née Douglas) passed away at home unexpectedly and peacefully in her sleep on April 23rd, 2015. She was a 56-year-old lifetime resident of the Rockport/Rockland area.
In recent years, Cheryl worked as a supervisor for the Break of Day Mental Health Group, Inc. Prior to that she spent many years as a teacher at the Rockland Penquis Head Start program. In both places she made many friends and touched many lives.
Cheryl was most passionate about her children and grandchildren, as anyone who met her can attest to. Staying in contact with her family was of the utmost importance to Cheryl, and she made a point to try to talk with them every day. She also enjoyed container gardening, reading, spending time with her dog Rocky, and going out with her friends for Ladies Night Out.
Cheryl is survived by her three sons and their families: Jeremy York and his fiancé Christine Simmonds; Brian York, his wife Amanda, and their children Ethan, Bella, and Aubrey; and her youngest son Corey York. She is also survived by her brother Timothy Douglas, his wife Carmen, and their children and grandchildren. She is predeceased by her father George Douglas, and her mother Mary Torpacka and second husband Maurice Torpacka.
Services will be held at Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home, 110 Limerock Street, Rockland, on May 1, 2015, at 1:00 pm. Reception to follow at the residence of Jeremy York and Christine Simmonds.
