Leah was born on December 28, 1974, to Douglas William Foster and Edra Jan Davis Foster. She was raised in the Edgewood-Limestone area and attended local schools. On November 16, 1991, she married the love of her life, Daniel Wayne Cherry, in Grossbeck, TX, and together they built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love in Edgewood.

Leah had a strong work ethic and a heart for serving others. She worked as a waitress from 1997 to 2008 before transitioning to a career as a tax assistant at Rozanna’s Accounting Tax Service, where she provided dedicated service to clients for many years.

A passionate reader, she could often be found lost in a book, captivated by stories and knowledge. She was also an avid fan of True Crime stories and loved unwinding with episodes of American Dad.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with her husband, Daniel Cherry of Edgewood, TX; her son, Murphy Cherry of Edgewood, TX; her daughters, Jana Corey and husband Nicholas of Edgewood, TX, and Nicole Simmons and husband Coleman of Edgewood, TX; her brothers, Chad Foster of Edgewood, TX, and Ivan Meek and wife Meredith of Athens, TX; her sister, Lyndsay Hayes and husband Josh, along with their children, Eryn Harris and Austin Hayes; sister, Amanda Meek of Athens, TX; and her adored grandchildren, Ellie Bishop, Emmie Bishop, Hallie Simmons, Lenox Corey, Anderson Simmons, and one eagerly anticipated grandchild, Maddox Corey.
