MMPCDC’s dear friend and long-time co-chair, Cheryl Macias, passed away on October 5, after battling stage 4 lung cancer for almost a year.  Cheryl was indeed the best of us–tireless, conscientious, loving and dedicated to the max. She opened her home and her heart to so many of us and worked tirelessly as a canvasser, advocate, poll greeter, supporter, adviser, teacher, listener, researcher, and more than our grieving brains can express. Cheryl was ever present–to staff an event, prepare food for a crowd, welcome dignitaries, assemble candidate literature, pick up litter, stuff envelopes, assemble food care packages during Covid, dress up for fundraisers, even sing karaoke. 

Besides serving as our co-chair for nearly eight years, Cheryl was a long-time active volunteer leader with other organizations, including the Manassas Rotary Club and Scouting America’s National Capital Area Council.

The greater Manassas community will celebrate Cheryl’s life on Saturday, November 15, 2-6 pm at the Social Soiree event center, 8270 Shoppers Square, Manassas. We hope to see you there!
