Cheryl Kay Platt, 60, of Belvidere, passed away at Javon Bea Hospital on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. She was born on October 4, 1965, in Detroit, Michigan, to Logan and Susan (Fischer) Bowles. In her youth, Cheryl worked alongside her brother at Clairmont Cleaners, a dry-cleaning company in Berkley, MI. She later moved to Belvidere, where she found the love of her life, Bud Carolfi, and made it her home. Cheryl was a dedicated life-time member of the VFW and a 20-year member of the American Legion in Belvidere, where she generously volunteered her time for various events and functions. Cheryl had a passion for riding motorcycles, often seen enjoying the open road on Bud's Harley Davidson. Together, they traveled extensively, relishing the sights and each other's company.
