Cheryl Engle was born June 29, 1947 in Bad Axe, MI. The daughter of the late Carlton and Phyllis (Currie) Engle, was a graduate of the University of Michigan in 1969 with a BA in English.
On August 23, 1969 the former Cheryl Engle was united in marriage with Joel Hord in Michigan sharing more than 50 years in companionship and love. Cheryl and Joel moved to Boca Raton, FL once Joel had graduated from dental school.
