Cheri Ann (Gilliatt) Tablada of San Jose, California passed away on Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 5:45 pm at the Baptist Health Floyd Hospital in New Albany, IN.

Cheri, age 71, was born about a mile west of Grantsburg on September 21, 1947 to the late Nova R. Gilliatt and his wife Bunny Wright Gilliatt.

She was a graduate of English High School in 1964 followed by a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree from Indiana University.

She married and went to Nicaragua for 3 years, returned to Colorado for a few years and then moved to California.  There she worked for many years in the Silicon Valley area as a senior technical writer.

Cheri enjoyed horse back riding and had a special horse when she lived in Indiana.  His name was "Prince" and he was a handsome paint horse.  But she rode so much at first that she was sore and stiff.  We told her it was a Charlie Horse.  Somehow that name drifted over to the horse and he became "Charlie Horse" through the years.

Just one of those wonderful memories that God gives us to make a rough spot in our lives easier to bear.

Cremation was chosen, there will be a Memorial Service at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to Denbo Funeral Home, English, IN.
