Cheryl Ann Zappia

April 13, 1962 — August 7, 2020

Cheryl Ann Zappia, 58, of Lowellville, Ohio.

On August 7, 2020, God called this angel to heaven where her frail body was made whole again and she was relieved of all pain, worry and suffering. She is now in heaven showing all the other angels watching over us, her grandkids that remain, and of whom she was so proud. On her last day on earth, she told her husband, Steve, that she loved each and every one of us and if she didn't come back, she would see him again in Heaven; a promise we know she will keep. Although the world is not a better place without her, Steve is a better person for having her for this brief time as his beautiful, loving wife!

Cheryl was born April 13, 1962 in Youngstown, OH, a daughter of Harry and Stella (Delp) Nolder and had been a lifelong area resident.

She was a 1980 graduate of Struthers High School and had attended ITT Technical School in Youngstown. Cheryl worked for many years at the Poland branch of Farmer's National Bank and later worked at Kohl's in Boardman. She enjoyed baking and spending time at the ocean, but she most especially cherished spending time with her family.

Besides her husband, Steven Zappia, whom she married March 26, 1983, she leaves her two sons, Adam (Jessica) Zappia of Pulaski, PA and Nathan (Colleen) Zappia of Niles; her sister, Helen "Sue" (William) Simcox of New Middletown; five brothers, Edward "Butch" (Sandy) of Youngstown, William "Bill" (Marlene) of Boardman, Robert "Bob" (Trudy) of Hanoverton, Jerry (Marilyn) of Lowellville and David (Jacqui) of Austintown. She was loving "Gam Gam" to Avery, Max, Bryce and Everly Zappia. Cheryl also leaves several nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her stepfather and a brother, Harry A. "Alvin" Nolder.

A funeral service will be held at 1:00 PM Thursday, August 13, 2020, at the Cunningham-Becker Funeral Home in Lowellville with Pastor Doug Theobold officiating. Friends may call from 11-12:45 PM prior to the service at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Poland Riverside Cemetery.
