Service Details
Cheri Renee (Reynolds) Hunt, 41, of Clive, Iowa, entered our Lord’s loving embrace on November 22, 2022, after a valiant battle with cancer.
Cheri was born on June 18, 1981, to Cindy (Reynolds) Moore and Calvin “Kim” Gravermoen in Des Moines, Iowa. She was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church. After graduating from Hoover High School in 1999, Cheri attended Grandview University and graduated with a B.A. in Education. After college, Cheri served as an elementary school teacher at Howe Elementary School in Des Moines from 2008-2013.
Cheri married the love of her life, Larry Hunt, June 24, 2010. Together they had four beautiful children, Nevaeh, Raegan, Hayden, and her miracle baby, Cash.
After starting a family, Cheri dedicated her life to being a wonderful mother and wife. She excelled at taking care of her family as she lovingly supported each of them through the passions and struggles of their young lives.
Cheri was an avid runner, lover of animals, and took pleasure in arts and crafts. The family enjoyed many wonderful vacations in their motorhome to places such as Graceland, Branson, Mount Rushmore, San Padre Island, and the Black Hills. Most of all, Cheri was a person of deep, unshakable faith in God. Though thick and thin, she clung to her trust in the Lord, her Rock Eternal (Isaiah 26:4). Cheri’s untimely death is grieved by many, but we take comfort in the promise that she is at peace with God, and we will see her again.
We would also, like to express our gratitude to the Unity Point Hospice Team of Erin Stegman, Holly Parrino, and Holly Smith. Through every interaction, our family was comforted by the love and sincere care shown toward Cheri. We often watched with awe how carefully and skillfully you took care of her. Thank you again for making the passing of Cheri, peaceful and dignified. For that we are forever grateful.
Cheri was preceded in death by her mother, Cindy Reynolds Moore; and her grandparents, Robert and Jo Reynolds. She is survived by her loving husband and children; her stepchildren, Mason and Conner Hunt; her sister, Amy Reynolds; in-laws, aunts and uncles, and her many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
There will be a celebration of life on Wednesday November 30, 2022 at 11:00 A.M. with luncheon to follow at Lutheran Church of Hope, 925 Jordan Creek Pkwy, West Des Moines, IA 50266.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Unity Point Hospice at Unity Point Hospice

Much love and many prayers over all of you!

Words of sympathy feel inadequate in expressing grief and sorrow for a loss so great. Sending a warm embrace and love during this sad time. Cheri is no longer in pain and with Christ. Such a horrible thing, cancer. Condolences for Larry, Neaveh, Raegan, Hayden and Cash in the loss of your wife and mother.

Rob Randy and all the Reynolds family. Cheri was a sweetheart, so much like my daughter I could not help but love her. Cancer is such a ugly battle but to claim one so young breaks the heart. Again my deepest condolences.

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. I am thankful that Cheri clearly understood that, and that she chose to acknowledge the reality of believing what Jesus said and trusting the One who died for us who died for our sins, that we would have a forever life in Him and not a forever state of death. I anxiously look forward to talking to Cheri (and others) in her radiant joy of knowing Jesus face to face.
While we will miss her here, it is so completely awesome that everyone can be with her there all because of the forgiveness and things made right with God as a result of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Because all of us have sinned against God, none of use deserve to be made right with God, but in that we can trust Jesus for His work of allowing us to trust in Him to forgive us, we can stand with Cheri and all who trust in Christ, before the Father with great joy and confidence.
Those who trust in Christ can exuberantly rejoice even now in what Jesus said from His throne in glory in Revelation 21, verses 3-4 Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look, Gods dwelling is with humanity, and He will live with them. They will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them and will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away. Hooray! He Wins! Cheris Won! Everyone can Win In Christ in trusting in Him!
With both great sadness and with great joy has Cheri moved on to her next stage of forever. While I grieve for Larry, each of the kids and others who were close to her, it is so good that she can now thrive as Jesus desires all of us to thrive in life. Praise God for His incredible kindnesses, even at the difficulty of this time.
