Ann Kathleen Cheser

December 1, 1943 – August 30, 2024

Ann Kathleen Cheser was a beloved mother, sister, wife, grandmother and great-grandmother. She died peacefully at her home on August 30, 2024. Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life at the Back Alley at North Bend Lanes on Saturday, October 26 from 1-4 p.m.

Ann was born on December 1, 1943 in Alameda, California to Charles and Josaphine Nickel. She was happiest when she was surrounded by her family and many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who she absolutely adored.

Ann was very involved in her children’s sports activities and was a pillar at Clyde Allen ballpark for all of the Babe Ruth games, working the concession stand with her great friend Glenda Hacker. Ann was a big fan of sports of all kinds, from football to horse racing. She was a huge fan of the Oregon Ducks and the San Francisco 49ers. She was known by many as a very kind and generous woman who would help out anyone in need, even complete strangers.

Ann is survived by sons Bill Cheser, Raymond Cheser II and Michael Cheser; sister, Carolyn Renner; and brother, Bill Nickel.

Ann was extremely close with her 7 grandchildren and doted on her 8 great-grandchildren.

Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Cheser Sr.; her son, Sean Cheser; and her sister, Barbara Beatty.

In lieu of flowers, Ann would have loved for family and friends to make a donation to an animal aid organization of their choice  (such as the ASPCA or a local animal shelter ), being the notorious animal lover that she was.

Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com and www.theworldlink.com. Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-756-0440.
