Cindy’s greatest joys in life included spending time with family and being in the great outdoors. The whole family loved taking road trips in their van, which would often double as their hotel. Favorite vacations included camping to and from Alaska and volunteering at a homestead in Hells Canyon Idaho alongside her husband Doug and children. She loved to celebrate the holidays and play games with family and friends. She adored her grandchildren more than anything. Her dog Sharcoal was her best friend and would always be by her side. She had a witty sense of humor and a quirky personality to match.
