In Remembrance Of

Cheryl Manville

Cheryl Ann (Kneale) Manville, 77, of Edgerton, MO passed away October 30, 2024.

She was born to James F. and Vivian I. (Lance) Kneale May 20, 1947, in St. Joseph, MO. Cheryl graduated from Lafayette High School in 1965. She later attended Gard Business University in St. Joseph and worked for the News Press and Gazette in the dispatch department. She married Larry Manville in 1966 and together had six children. They later divorced.

Cheryl’s first love was serving God through her music and the love she had for her children and grandchildren. She started playing organ and piano for church when she was 13 years old and started singing for church in her late teens and continued for many years.

She began her career of accompanying choirs and soloists and continued for 20 years. Being a stay-at-home mom, she began giving private piano lessons in 1986 and always cherished interaction with her students. She also enjoyed cooking, embroidery, quilting, crocheting, and visiting with family and friends. Cheryl also enjoyed growing flowers, gardening, and loved watching football.

In 1994, Cheryl’s new life began when she found salvation through Christ. She faithfully served Him and made Frazier Baptist Church her home. Her home now is with Jesus in heaven, praising Him through music.

She was preceded in death by her parents James and Vivian Kneale and her sister-in-law Jane Kneale.

Cheryl is survived by her children Mark (Kathy) Manville, Steve (Tami) Manville, Gary (Angie) Manville, Natalie (Steve) Mummert, Jenny (Vance) Minor, and Chuck (Telena) Manville; 15 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; her brother Michael Kneale; several nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends.

    Cheryl will be missed, but I’m so glad she’s in no pain and worshipping in heaven with the Lord! After 10 – 12 years of piano lessons with her, she became a Grandma figure to me. At the end, we would spend half our lesson time laughing, telling stories, or sharing the pressing/deep things of the day. We had belly laughs and tears together. After high-school, I visited her several times and saw how God was using her in the church with the Bible studies, being a part of the worship team, and teaching piano as a ministry to families who might not be able to afford them.

    Cheryl was my first piano teacher at age 4 and vocal teacher at age 12. In high school, she accompanied me in choir and as a soloist. It was a blessing to continue friendship in Christ with her for life. Welcome Home, Cheryl! Your loved ones are in my prayers.
