Cheryl Bell Lande

Cheryl Bell Lande passed away peacefully on August 25, 2018 after a long battle with cancer. She fought the disease with grace and dignity, far surpassing any odds set before her. Her participation in a clinical trial was selfless – knowing she would help others in the future.

She was born in Indianapolis on May 13, 1954 to Bill Bell and Lucille Emard.

Cheryl was well loved by everyone who knew her. She gave so much of herself to everyone and her strength was unparalleled.  She was an outspoken supporter of equal rights for all.

She worked at Simon Property Group in the Public Relations department, perfect for someone as outgoing and detail oriented  as Cheryl. She was also a member of both Congregation Shaarey Tefilla and Beth-El Zedeck.

Friends came easy to Cheryl – the Dill Street gang, her longtime Ball State friends, were so special to her and celebrations with friends and family were always a priority.

Raising her three children were her priority and she loved being a grandmother to her grandsons.

She is survived by her husband Phil Lande, children Marty (Abbie) Lande, Jeremy (Samantha) Lande, and Daniel Lande, grandchildren Jack and Julian Lande and sisters Julie (Chris) Gifford, and Nila (Daryle) Harris.

The funeral will be held on Monday at 1 p.m. at Congregation Shaarey Teffila.

Donations can be made in her memory to Congregation Shaarey Tefilla and Planned Parenthood.
