Cheryl Ann Karolczak

4/4/1959 – 2/10/2022

Cheryl, age 62, born & raised in Greenfield, WI and eventually moved out to Mukwonago, passed away unexpectedly while peacefully asleep in her home in the early morning hours on February 10th, 2022.

She is survived by her only living son, Jacob A. Karolczak, and her forever love and eternal soulmate, Scott A. Bray & their blue nose pit-bull Shine, who she took with her wherever she went. She will now be reunited with her oldest son, Nicholas G. Karolczak (A.K.A. “Bean”) who left to eternal life on May 1st, 2009. She made it to paradise just in time to be with him & celebrate his 41st birthday on February 12th, 2022. She will also be reuniting with her loving parents, Ralph and Thelma Labecki.

She had 6 step-daughters whom she loved dearly & took in as her own, Cheri Nelson (Joseph Allen), Pam (Sammy) Spencer, Amenda Ramczyk, Rebecca Bray, Mickey Bray & Debra who was born to eternal life on 12/15/2015, as well as 22 grandchildren & 5 great-grandchildren, her brother Tommy and 2 sisters, Debbie & Karen.

She is also survived by many other friends, including Lisa J. Pipp, who she considered to be the daughter she never had.

Cheryl will be remembered as a loving Mother, daughter, grandmother, life-long partner and a great friend. She was determined to do whatever she had to do with every challenge she faced and handled everything very boldly & confidently. Anyone who was lucky enough to be a part of Cheryl’s life would tell you how loving & caring she was, yet also how bold & brave she handled herself. She was never afraid to tell you like it is- whether good or bad, she kept it real with everyone she encountered. She always remained humble & helped anyone she could in need.

She will be greatly missed by everyone, and we all have many memories of her that we will hold onto forever in our hearts, bless us in our dreams & protect & comfort us from our nightmares.

Fly high beautiful angel.

Rest in Paradise
