Cheryl Burney, 69, of Webster City was called home to God to join her loved ones on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at Isreal Hospice in Ames. Private family burial will be held at the Iowa Veterans Cemetery at a later date. Foster Funeral and Cremation Center is caring for Cheryl and her family.

Cheryl Denise Menninga was born to Janice (Steenhoek) and Kenneth Menninga on December 9, 1955 in Oskaloosa, Iowa. She was raised and educated in Pella, Iowa. In 1972, Cheryl met the love of her life and married Robert Lesley Burney. To this union of 45 years, three children and nine grandchildren were born. She supported her husband’s military career, and he supported her love to be an at home mom. After 16 years of her in-home daycare, she pursued a few other jobs until her grandchildren were born so she could spend more time with them. Cheryl loved taking them to the swimming pool, Dolliver Park, for picnics and hikes and an annual trip to Adventureland.

She is survived by her son, Christopher (Teri) Burney; daughter, Jamie (Don) Johnson; son, Jason (Britne) Burney all of Webster City; grandchildren, Dirk Johnson, Megan (Kyle) Hilgeford, Blake (Sarah) Johnson, Natalie Johnson, Jayde Bertran, MacKenzie Burney, Carson Bertran, Brandon Burney, Christopher (Kamia) Jennings, Justin (Karli) Berte, Tori Berte and Maggie Berte; great-grandchildren, Kamie Rae, Weston and Elijah; mother, Janice Lamson of Greenville, NC; brothers, Randy (Linda) Menninga of Des Moines, Mark (Cher) Menninga of Des Moines; sister, Connie (Tom Geisler) of Dubuque; brothers, Chad (Cari) Lamson of Raleigh, NC, Brad (Angie) Lamson of Greenville, NC and many nieces and nephews.
