Cindy was a very special person that lived life with enthusiasm! Her smile and laugh would make other people do the same! The Buffalo Class of 1978 was blessed to call her our friend! She will be missed ❤️🙏
Cindy you made every day at Rockler an event. You will be missed. Heaven has gained an amazing angel.
Strength of conviction, enthusiasm for life, passionate about friends and family.
The darkness of her passing will be overwhelmed by the sunshine of the memories she brought to all of us.
Valhalla will never receive a bigger Vikings fan!!!
Our heartfelt thoughts, tears, and prayers to Cindy’s family during this tragic time. After many years, we recently had the opportunity to stop and see Cindy. It was as though we had only seen her the week before. It was an enjoyable afternoon filled with fun, stories, and much laughter. We are thankful to have had her in our lives. She will be greatly missed.
Times Like These are very very difficult. Really hard to lose a family member and a loved one. Especially at such a young age. Our prayers and Loving Thoughts go out to the family. Cindy you will be missed. Love Steve and Penny
I am having a hard time imagining this world without you dear friend……I feel the world is a little less bright without your beautiful, wild, funny, happy , outstandingly personality among us……I will miss you dear friend. I will eventually find a special place in my heart filled with Sunshine because of the light you shined into my life. I Love You! Until we meet again…Go shine your light! 😥😇
I worked with Cindy at Rockler. She brightened up the room – always saying “Bless You” when someone sneezed – she did live life to the fullest and I know her family and friends have many fun, happy memories that they will carry with them always. May those memories keep her close to your heart – my prayers are with you all. Cindy will brighten up heaven now.
We were so shocked to get the news of Cindy’s passing! Our hearts are with all of you! Much love is being sent to Cindy’s family!! Julie and Dale Burau
‘Leggs’ you never learned the basics of softball but hardly ever missed a fly ball. You will be missed we had great times playing ball together. What a tourney we had in Owatonna. Fun to never forget. God will hold your family close in his healing arms.
Claire and Vern and family. We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your daughter Cindy. She is now in our Lord’s loving arms. Our sincere sympathies. John and Sue Fuller-Ward
The goodness of your heart will be truly missed,laughter that you created was beyond compare. When I think of you I smile and it will always be that way!
Bless your heart!
You were a wonderful neighbor, and a friend. I’ll miss you driving by and waving to me. A class act indeed.
I love you and miss you Sista!! It will not be the same without you! Rest easy now. Until we meet again!!
New to the neighborhood my pitbull Nala and I became fast friends with Cindy. One of the few people to welcome us. What a dear woman this world has lost.
