Obituary
Cheryl M. Agee, 59, of
Maroa passed away at her home surrounded by her
family on Sunday, March 22, 2026.
Cheryl Marie Miles was born on May 3, 1966 in
Monticello the daughter of Bruce Lee and Norma Lee
Miles. On July 14, 1989 she married Woodrow Terrell
Agee, he survives.
Cheryl graduated from the Maroa Forsyth High School
in 1984. She worked a few jobs before starting her
career at Millikin University in the mailroom where
she made all students and faculty feel welcome and
loved, and at Ameren as a security officer. Her goal
was to always support her family and be a friend to
all those who knew her.
Her hobbies included watching her sons play sports,
doing photography, and spending time with family and
friends; she loved playing with her grandchildren.
Cheryl was a woman of strength, grace, and
unwavering love for her family. Even in the face of
her illness, she carried herself with resilience and
a spirit that inspired everyone around her. She had
a way of making people seen, valued, and deeply
loved—whether through her kind words, her laughter,
or simply her presence.
Surviving are her two sons, Andrew (Lauren) Agee and
Aaron (Camilyn) Agee. Two grandchildren, Ayden and
Emma Agee. Her father, Bruce Lee Miles. Two sisters,
Tammy (Bill) Rentmeister and Connie (Mike) Solimanto.
One brother, Ed (Shelli) Miles. Many nieces, nephews
and cousins also survive.
