Cindy Sass

Cindy was born July 31, 1955, in San Diego, California to Denzil L. and Peggy M. Pearson.

She was a small-town girl growing up in Richmond, Kansas. In her early years, you could find her at her father’s tire shop changing a tire or two or as a cheerleader on the Central Heights cheerleading squad. At 14, she met her future husband of 50 years while changing one of those tires. A couple of years later, they reconnected and began their lifelong journey together.

Family & her beloved pups were always the most important part of her life. She loved to have her family together for holidays, especially Christmas and 4th of July. She adored her grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with each of them while supporting them through their countless activities. She considered the White Mountains of Arizona “home” where they lived for over 30 years. It has always held a special place in her heart.

Cindy was preceded in death by her father Denzil Pearson, son-in-law Steven Pearson, brother Randy Pearson, niece Carissa Callahan and nephew Timothy Lickteig.

Cindy is survived by her husband Leland Sass, her children Shannon (Kelly) Allred, Stephanie Pearson, Shawn (Lori) Sass Sr., and Shane (Stacey) Sass, 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, mother Peggy Pearson, sister Sandy (Donnie) Lickteig, brother Gary Pearson, sister-in-law Laurinda Pearson, and many nieces and nephews.
