“She cares, and it shows.”
This phrase, plucked from one of the five letters nominating Cheryl Brockman for Clay County News’ sixth annual Person of the Year, sums up the Deweese woman fittingly. It is evident in all that she does, in how she raises her children and supports the communities that she calls home, that what drives Brockman’s life is a single truth—that she cares.
“Cheryl donates her time to so many things,” according to another nomination letter, “and I believe that she has gone over and above for any organization out there.”
Humble doesn’t even begin to describe Brockman, who doesn’t see herself as doing anything out of the ordinary.
“I’m very honored,” Brockman said about being named 2018 Person of the Year, “but I definitely don’t think it’s necessary, because our communities are filled with people who are eager to help all the way around.”
