Cheri Rinehart

Cheri S. Rinehart (Stempien) passed away of breast cancer on December 3, 2020, at Kobacker House. She was born on March 17, 1951, in Cleveland, Ohio to Ted and Ruth Stempien.

She is survived by son Zach Rinehart (Corey), grandkids Michael Viera, Lily Rinehart, Macy Rinehart, brother Gary Stempien, and nieces and nephews Matt Stempien, Derek Stempien, Gil Rinehart (Samantha), Jenna Morgan (Mike), and Jonathan Rinehart (Marci).

Cheri graduated from Upper Arlington High School before attending Columbus College of Art and Design and the Columbus State School of Architecture. She was spiritual, loved nature, the beach and especially her grandchildren. She absolutely loved being with them the most. Cheri spent a lot of time at the Community Resource Center in Clintonville and going on different trips with Senior Options, both local organizations geared towards helping the community. She was an animal lover and over the years she had many cats and dogs. She treated her pets like gold. Her laugh was so contagious and if she got laughing really hard, she could not stop! It would make you crack up too!  She would go on forever!!

Thanks to the James Cancer Hospital, The Stephanie Spielman Center, Community Resource Center of Clintonville, Senior Options, The Kobacker House, and our loving family and friends.
