Cyndy was baptized at Peace Lutheran Church in Hutchinson. She received her education in Kenmare, North Dakota and Hutchinson, Minnesota. She was a graduate of the Kenmare High School Class of 1972.

Cyndy was employed at Hutchinson Technologies, Inc. in Hutchinson for 31 years. Cyndy was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Hutchinson, Minnesota.

Cyndy passed away on Monday, December 25, 2023, at her home in rural Darwin, Minnesota, at the age of 69 years.

Blessed be her memory.

    I’m so sad today to see that Cindy had passed away. My heartfelt sympathies to the family. I worked with Cindy for many years at HTI. We were quite the Metal Cleaning group back in the day, working under Betty’s tight realm. We worked hard, but always managed to find some time for some fun and laughter. Cindy will truly be missed. May all the great memories you made together give you strength to make it through the days ahead. For what you keep in memory is yours, unchanged forever. Rest in peace Cindy.
