Rest In Peace my dear friend All our love to your family
Chef, so sorry for your loss.
Cindy was an exuberant positive individual who was a joy to work with. Back in the mid 60’s while a clerk at SALADMASTER home office, I recognized her “can do” attitude and offered her an Executive secretary position even though she didn’t have the experience for this position however her “can do” attitude secured her this position as secretary to me as CEO of the corporation. She was a fast learner and her cheerful and positive demeanor allowed her to catch on quite rapidly. She became a friend to my family and she certainly was more than just “an employee” to us all. Her warm caring personality along with her “get it done (right) attitude was unparalleled by anyone. Although we lost contact for many years, I’ll always cherish my friendship and business relationship that I had with Cindy. To Chad and the rest of her family I extend my sincere sympathy on your loss, but know that through the trust in our lord and savior Jesus Christ you all will be together once again some time in the future. “She brightens the sky as she dances among the angels”…. Respectfully submitted, Arthur Nahatis
You took us in as family right away…you did so much for me and the kids, “once you’re family, you’re always family.” We love you and miss you. Thank you for everything Ninny. Love, Dayna, Brody and Kam.

Chad, I am terribly sorry for your loss. My you be comforted by your memories of her. She has a fine son in you and has gone on to inspire so many. Her kindness and love for others is displayed through you. Peace be with you.
Cindy is a beautiful person inside and out. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word. She will be missed. My prayers are with those who love her.
I was exceedingly blessed to have had Cindy for my big sister. She turned every occasion into a magical experience by always going the extra mile. She threw herself wholeheartedly into everything she did. Cindy was a perfectionist but not in a way that made others uncomfortable, she merely had a knack for identifying the most efficient method of doing whatever needed to be done, thereby making family gatherings seem effortless, pleasant, and extra special. She loved her husband, Tom, with the love of a newlywed for 42 years. She often told me how grateful she was that she knew she was going to spend the rest of her life with him.I’ve never known a more devoted mother. She tended to hover, yet did so in a loving and tender manner when her son, Chad, was growing up. He enjoyed the positive reinforcement she instilled in him regarding the value of doing things safely while having as much fun as possible. The most important value she instilled in Chad was being kind. She didn’t preach it, she modeled it by always doing loving things for others and spreading joy wherever she went. She had boundless energy by striving to take good care of her health so she could be available to help care for others. She was fully emotionally invested in her family and friends. She was adored by her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Her absence will leave a major void but we’ve all been immensely blessed to have had her as the mascot for our family. I’m grateful that she didn’t suffer from a lengthy illness. Most importantly, I’m grateful that my faith assures me I will see her again in a spiritual realm for all Eternity. RIP precious Cindy. I will think of you every day and love you forever.
Chad & Family–Sorry for the unexpected loss of your mother. Hugs to you & the entire family. We’ll keep you in our prayers.Gary Skala & Wayne Pendley
