Cheryl Galloway

Cochrane

Cheryl Galloway Cochrane, 73, of Rock Hill, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, surrounded by her family.

Born December 20, 1952, Cheryl was the daughter of the late William Eugene Galloway and Mamie Banister Galloway. She was also preceded in death by her former husband, Joe A. Cochrane.

Cheryl retired from Duke Energy, where she worked in Human Resources. She was a woman of strong faith who loved God and attended Church of God of Prophecy, Harvest Ministries, in Rock Hill. She was known for her ability to listen without judgment and offer thoughtful advice. Those closest to her knew that her faith and family were the most important parts of her life.

Cheryl enjoyed reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Her greatest joy came from being with those she loved, whether gathering at home or traveling together and making memories.

One of Cheryl's greatest blessings was her grandson, Harrison, who gave her the name "CeCe" 27 years ago. The name stuck, and she became known as CeCe to family and friends. She often said Harrison brought her more joy than she had ever experienced in her life. Being his CeCe meant the world to her.

Cheryl and her daughter, Jaime, shared a special bond. They were not only mother and daughter but also best friends. They shared countless conversations, travels, laughter, and memories. Her absence will be deeply felt, especially by Jaime, who will forever cherish the close relationship they shared.

Cheryl is survived by her daughter, Jaime Cochrane; grandson, Harrison Cochrane, and his fiancée, Caileigh Petty; sisters, Sandra Rivers and Tammy Munn Edwards (Dean); and brother, Tommy Galloway. She is also survived by four nieces and one nephew, their spouses and children, and many extended family members and dear friends.

While Cheryl will be deeply missed, her family and friends find comfort in knowing she has received her complete healing and is reunited with loved ones in Heaven. They will remember her faith, her love for family, and the many ways she touched their lives.

A Scripture that reflects Cheryl's faith and the strength she found in God is Isaiah 41:10:

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)
