Cynthia Marie Walker

Cindy graduated from Ashland High School and attended Southern Oregon College. She later attended and graduated from the University of Oregon.

Cindy married Scott Walker, who she had met after college graduation, in 1989. They have two wonderful children, Maggie and Griffin. Maggie and Griffin were Cindy’s life. She was involved in all of their activities and was always on the bench/bleachers/course to watch their sporting events.

The Walker family moved to Colorado Springs in 2001 from Auburn , WA and have called it home since . Cindy worked for USAA Insurance for 29 years before her illness forced her to leave on disability in 2016.

Cindy had a passion for life and loved spending time, and laughing, with her family and friends. She always thought of others first and was known for baking to welcome, congratulate and console her friends or even people she barely knew.

Cindy loved to read until her cancer took the ability to read words. Instead of giving up something she loved , she developed a new passion for Audio books. The monthly book club book gave her excitement and purpose. Her last few months were filled with Friends, Family, Facebook and Pinterest.

Cindy also loved to spend time planting her pots and caring for her flowers. She also loved long walks in the park, which Cindy and Scott were able to do quite often up until her passing.

And then there was her passion for everything Oregon Ducks. Although she was not the biggest sports fan, she loved her Ducks and was known for throwing the best tailgaters around. Cindy was always recognized around town as her white mini-van always had a large yellow O on the back window.
