Cheryl Christine Vienneau

March 19, 1982 – November 1, 2026

Cheryl Christine Vienneau ("Cherry"), 44, of Milford, Connecticut, passed away at home on November 1, 2026. She was born in Milford on March 19, 1982, to Lawrence Vienneau and Lisa (Saja) Kennedy. While she spent her working years in an office, her greatest dedication, and life's most meaningful roles were being a devoted wife and mother. Together, she and her husband built a family filled with love, bringing their children together and creating a life they both shared and cherished. Her children were her purpose in life, something she always expressed, and being their mother was what she treasured most. 

Cheryl was the life of every gathering and had a natural gift for making friends wherever she went. With her bright blue eyes, unforgettable smile, and bubbly personality, she would turn heads and light up any room. She had a playful, goofy side that brought laughter to those around her, and she never hesitated to be herself. She made everyone feel comfortable and accepted, creating a safe space where people could truly be themselves. Beyond her carefree nature was a strong, determined woman who stood her ground and fiercely stood being the people she loved. She was loyal through and through, the kind of person who always had your back.

Cheryl appreciated the simple things in life and took great pride in her home, always striving to make it a warm, welcoming place where family and friends felt at ease. Although she was talented in the kitchen, she much preferred keeping a tidy home. She enjoyed spending time outdoors, going for walks and soaking up the sunshine, but she especially looked forward to sweater season. She loved her cozy cardigans and scarves and always preferred the cooler weather over the summer heat. Wherever she went, rarely without her phone, always catching up with someone, sharing a conversation, or keeping in touch with the people she loved. And after every phone call, she still never said goodbye. 

Cheryl is survived by her husband, Miguel A. Franqui; her three children, Arisabella Krissy Brown, Juleyana Nicole Brown, Luis David Lozada; her stepchildren, Aryana M. Franqui, Alexander M. Franqui, Amarylis Franqui, and Nathanael Franqui; her siblings, Jacquelyn S. Vienneau and William C. Kohler, and many dear friends. 

She was predeceased by her brother, Paul M. Vienneau.

Family and friends are invited to a memorial service on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Funeraria Luz de Paz. Colorful attire is encouraged!
