\t\t\tMelissa Cherry \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Melissa \u201cMissi\u201d (Wensell) Cherry, 59, passed away in her Blandon home<\/p>\n
on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from complications of heart conditions. She was<\/p>\n
the daughter of the late Patricia and Robert Wensell, and was married for over 20<\/p>\n
years to her loving husband, Jason Cherry.<\/p>\n
Missi worked for Met-Ed for over 15 years, and in her spare time<\/p>\n
volunteered with the local pig rescue firm Puddin\u2019 Heartland 1 st for over a decade,<\/p>\n
where she attended pig events and helped to train and rescue pigs. Missi also<\/p>\n
loved everything about racing, going to racetracks all over the country with her<\/p>\n
husband Jason and their family. She enjoyed the constant activity in the pits,<\/p>\n
and also made sure everyone there was well-fed. Prior to her illness, she even<\/p>\n
helped push the Sprint car out to the track. When she wasn\u2019t able to attend<\/p>\n
races in person, she would occupy her time at home watching racing on<\/p>\n
television.<\/p>\n
In addition to her loving husband Jason, Missi is survived by her youngest<\/p>\n
son Marcus Cherry, husband of Amber, her daughter Alinda, wife of Dan Moyer,<\/p>\n
and her oldest twin sons Adam and Derek Wensell. Also surviving are her two<\/p>\n
granddaughters, three grandsons, her brother Rodney Wensell, and her sister<\/p>\n
Robi, wife of Shane Kramer, her sister-in-law Kim Cherry, mother of her nieces<\/p>\n
Eliza and Kahlan Tripp.<\/p>\n
In addition to her parents, Missi was predeceased by her aunt, Anna<\/p>\n
Dietrich, and Jason\u2019s parents, Audrey and Dana Cherry.<\/p>\n
