and   Whereas, she is the cherished granddaughter of Franklin Johnson and Caroline Chavous Johnson on her paternal side, and Robert Berry and Anna Craig Berry on her maternal side, reflecting a proud heritage rooted in family, resilience, and tradition;
and   Whereas, the young Alma received her education in Aiken County, attending Schofield High School and continuing her studies at Paine College, experiences that helped shape her character, discipline, and commitment to excellence;
and   Whereas, at an early age, she began her lifelong walk of faith, first as a member of Zion Hill Baptist Church in New Ellenton.
Later, after she was united in marriage with her beloved husband, Alonza L.

Through her service, she uplifted others with her voice, generosity, kindness, and spirit of service;
and   Whereas, Alma and her husband built a life grounded in love, faith, and family.
Their union was blessed with one son, Lamar Cherry, who married Joyce Tutt, and a cherished grandson, Marty Cherry, continuing a legacy that she holds dear;
and   Whereas, throughout her life, Mrs.
Cherry worked faithfully in Aiken County until her well-earned retirement, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues and community members for her strong work ethic, dependability, and quiet strength;
and   Whereas, beyond her professional and church life, Mrs.
Cherry is known for her warm hospitality.
She maintains a welcoming home and finds joy tending her yard with care, and enjoying fellowship with friends;
and   Whereas, a gifted cook and baker, she is especially celebrated for her homemade meals and cakes, which have brought joy and created lasting memories for her family, friends, and church community;
and   Whereas, even at one hundred years of age, Mrs.
Cherry remains vibrant, active, and independent, continuing to drive, stay socially engaged, and inspire others with her grace, strength, and joyful spirit;
