Cheryl Malluege

Cheryl Anne Malluege, age 68, of Woodbury, Minnesota, passed away unexpectedly on February 10, 2026. Born on December 15, 1957, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Cheryl was the daughter of Gerald and Nancy (Lundwall) Reis and spent her entire life rooted in the eastern suburbs of the Twin Cities.

Cheryl married the love of her life, Michael Malluege, in 1980, and together they built a home filled with family, laughter, and unwavering support. For 45 years, Cheryl poured her passion, creativity, and keen eye for hidden treasures into her work as an antique dealer and owner of Alley Cat Antiques in River Falls, Wisconsin. Her shop became an extension of her personality-filled with stories, character, and the joy of discovery. She had a gift for connecting with people, and her customers often became friends.

Cheryl had a gift for speaking her mind and was hilariously stubborn in the most endearing way. Her energy, laughter, and unmistakable presence could brighten any room.

Survived by husband, Michael; children, Christopher (Kacie), Erick (Brittany), Monika (Shane), and Katrina (Pat); five grandchildren; mother, Nancy (Lundwall) Reis; and siblings, Bob (Sue), Randy (Tricia), and Christine (John); along with other loving family and friends.   Preceded in death by father, Gerald Reis.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
