With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Dr. Cheryl Osbourne Chavers on Tuesday, November 10th.
Dr. Cheryl Osbourne Chavers gave faithful service to the AEC as a member of the Executive Committee for several years, right up until her passing. She also represented AEC on the Columbia Union Executive Committee and other entities, and she served as an elder at Calvary Church in Newport News, Virginia. Her dedication to ministry and leadership will be deeply missed.
“Dr. Chavers was a sterling example of Black female excellence, resilience, servant leadership, and faithfulness under fire. We are inspired by her fierce and indomitable life and legacy. She served her local church, her conference, her union, her division, and the general conference committee. The Allegheny East conference family greatly mourns the loss of our dear sister, leader, and friend.” - Dr. Trevor Kinlock, AEC President
