In Memoriam - Cheryl (Trine) Dacey
We are sad to hear of the passing of Cheryl (Trine) Dacey in the Spring of 2023. Cheryl's family moved often before settling in Tacoma where she attended Wilson. So she had to make all new friends at WW High School, which wasn't difficult as she was very kind and sweet. Cheryl was a Girls Club Representative at Wilson in her senior year. After graduating, she attended CWU and had a career as a public school teacher, much loved by her students and staff. Cheryl loved being a mother to 4 kids and eventually was a grandma to 19 kids and great-grandma to 6.
