She will be forever missed by her husband of 36 years Mark Tilson and daughter Lindsay Sinclair (Spencer). Unfortunately, Cheryl will not be present at the birth of her granddaughter in March, however, we know she will be watching over us. Daughter of Janet and the late Floyd Burkett. Cheryl will be greatly missed by her siblings; Karin Philp (Paul), Carl Burkett (Janice), Nancy Butler (Kirby) and Lori Smith (Glen). Survived by brothers-in-law; David Tilson, Robert Morse (Lisa) and Matthew Morse (Margaret). She was adored by her many nieces and nephews. Cheryl was a devoted and passionate employee of Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) for over 35 years. She was the manager of the Diagnostic Imaging Department and was the Lead Redevelopment Specialist playing an integral role in the creation of the newly operating OTMH as well as the Milton District Hospital.
