Funeral services for long-time Enid, Okla., resident, Cheryl Ann Criner were held December 3, 2020, at Kingwood Funeral Home Chapel in Kingwood, Texas, with Mr. David Bailey officiating.
Cheryl was born on July 21, 1944, in Tulsa, Okla., to Ray and Daisy (Nivens) Bartling, and died Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2020, in Kingwood Hospital (HCA) of respiratory failure.
She grew up in Tulsa and was a 1952 graduate of Will Rogers High School. Cheryl later attended Oklahoma State University for two years. On Jan. 29, 1965, she married Johnny Criner Jr. (John) in the Sharp Chapel at the University of Tulsa campus. The couple traveled to multiple cities due to John's work before ultimately making Enid, Okla., their home in the mid-70s. Cheryl was a member of North Garland Church of Christ in Enid.
Her professional career started as a real estate agent for ERA and Century 21, and she ultimately transitioned to a position at Liberty Federal Savings Bank until she retired. She enjoyed life and was easily known for her infectious laugh and smile. Cheryl enjoyed her family, painting, bridge playing, room decorating, cooking and reading.
She is survived by her husband, John; brother, Gary Bartling; son, J.R. Criner and wife Terri, plus grandchildren Austin and Alicen Criner. Due to COVID-19, the family is encouraging friends and family not to travel, and to take advantage of Cheryl's heartwarming memorial tribute on the Kingwood Funeral Home website.
