Cheryl Bromley Jones, 76, of Buzzards Bay, died peacefully Tuesday.

Born to the late Lilian and Chester “Chet” Bromley on April 12, 1947, in Attleboro, MA, Cheryl graduated from Bridgewater High School in 1965. She earned a BA in English in 1969 and subsequently an MA in Teaching English in 1975, both from Bridgewater State University.

A high school English teacher for greater than 35 years, including tenures at Easton, Sandwich, and Plymouth public schools, Cheryl was the quintessential educator.  During her career, Cheryl was awarded the prestigious Lucretia Crocker teaching fellowship and served as president of the Massachusetts Council of Teachers of English. After retiring from teaching full time, she worked as an educational consultant with Teachers 21 and Seaside Educational Consultants.

Cheryl was an active member of St. Margaret of Scotland Parish in Buzzard’s Bay and regularly attended mass at St. Mary Star of the Sea in Onset.  She was an avid traveler, visiting Europe with her “gaggle” of friends, attending writing workshops across the country, and more recently boating with her husband.

Cheryl is survived by her loving husband of five years, Robert Karp, and her sister, Karen Bromley Rood (Gregory), of Centerville, MA. She is also survived by six nieces and nephews and several grandnieces and grandnephews. She was preceded in death by her cherished husband Warren Jones (d. 2002), her brother Douglas Bromley (d. 1980), and her sister Mary Gibbs (d. 2020).

A visitation will be held Thursday, June 15, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home, followed by a memorial mass on Friday, June 16, at St. Margaret’s in Buzzards Bay. For details, see: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/bourne-ma/cheryl-jones-karp-11319314
