Website Operation Black Vote reports that Cherry died on the 25 April (Easter Sunday) surrounded by family members.
For 26 years Cherry courageously battled with numerous complications caused by the shooting. Although her life expectancy was only 10 years she continued to be an active central figure in her family and an inspiration to many and her life will stand as a testament to being strong and dignified through adversity, passing on a legacy for many to learn, follow and benefit from. A truly remarkable woman!
Cherry is survived by her mother, 3 sisters, 8 children, 11 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
