Cheryl Ann Meglio, well known in her professional life as “The Church Lady,” passed away peacefully on December 13th, surrounded by loved ones, at the age of 68 in St Louis, Mo. A woman of profound and devout faith since childhood, Cheryl has joined her Maker in heaven.
Born and raised in the St Louis restaurant family (Luigi’s), Cheryl continued the entrepreneurial spirit with her own realty brokerage. She dedicated her life to ministering her love of God and His way, a calling she pursued actively even in her final days. She specialized in connecting pastors with their new church homes, a unique ministry where her professional real estate skills intersected beautifully with her faith.
Cheryl was preceded in death by her parents, Luca and Sylvia (Wilde) Meglio.
She is survived by her devoted life partner, Pat Gates, loving sisters, Jeannine (Michael) Clemons and Geralyn (Karl) Akers. She was a loving and proud aunt, great-aunt, and cousin to all of her extended family.

The congregation and leadership at The Sanctuary would like to express our sincere condolences in the passing of Cheryl Meglio. We know that mere words are insufficient comfort during difficult days like this; but please know that not only are our thoughts and prayers with you, but so too are our shoulders here to cry on, and our ears here to listen.
Cheryl was not only a member and but also an Elder at The Sanctuary at the time that we were a fledgling congregation and was an important leader while we were starting out. We were blessed to have not only her leadership but her prayers and strength as we grew. She will be missed by every member who knew her.
As you say goodbye to Cheryl remember that she was a mighty woman of God who has taken her well-deserved rest, that we look forward to seeing again.
Be encouraged and know that until we all see Cheryl again in the clouds, we stand with you here, now, and always.
Yours In Faith,
The Sanctuary Church Family
