As we celebrate Women's History Month, we take a moment to honor one of the remarkable women in our family, Mary Anderson. A direct descendant of the Cheatham Family Tree of Vera McDowell Cheatham stands out as a shining example of dedication and commitment to our family.
Mary has been a pillar of our family, never missing a Cheatham Family Reunion since the initial reunion in 1976. Her unwavering support and presence at these gatherings have been a testament to her love for our family and her commitment to keeping our traditions alive.
Mary applauds the younger generation for their efforts in preserving and continuing the legacy of the Cheatham family. She feels that their dedication ensures that our family history remains vibrant and celebrated for generations to come.
