Cindy was first a co-worker, and then later and forever, a beloved friend!

We met in 1997.  I learned so much from Cindy, sitting next to her almost daily at work.  She had an awesome work ethic I was influenced by, and it improved mine.  I learned tips and improved my excel spreadsheet skills from Cindy. We often called her the spreadsheet queen. And I loved collaborating and strategizing our approach while at work conducting manpower studies.  We traveled many places around the world.  Cindy was a lot of fun.  We liked to eat, we explored, we shopped, and we adventured, and I will miss her contagious laugh.  On travel is when you really get to know a person.  Cindy was an asset to any team she was on, and I was glad to have the opportunity to work closer with her as a team of four, before she retired.

We “talk” stories. We talked about our lives, our families, her two sons, her daughter, her grandsons, as well as special events and family concerns.  We shared resources, information about schools, retirement, real estate, and health.

In many ways, our lives ran parallel with raising a family, how to put our kids through college, and most recently, how to care for our elderly parents. 

I will miss our talks, I will miss that someone to call at any moment’s notice, just to chat. 

I love you Cindy, and will always hold those memories and experiences together, close to my heart. 

My deepest and sincerest condolences to her family. I know she was their rock, and will be truly missed.  But forever in our hearts. <3

I met Cindy in 1996 when we became co-workers.  Cindy was an absolute joy to work with.  Her enthusiasm, incredible work ethic and willingness to share her knowledge with everyone was inspiring.  She gave every assignment she had 110% effort and was always looking for ways to improve our processes to ensure we were all the best we could be.  She mentored, she nudged, she supported, she helped anyone and everyone and she made us all better for it.  Our job wasn’t glamorous, and we frequently were met with less than enthusiasm, but Cindy always persevered and gained the trust and admiration of our customers.  She contributed tremendously to the U.S Navy’s manpower program and was one of the finest people I ever worked with.

Our work required a lot of travel and Cindy made every trip she was on memorable for her co-workers. Her spirit and optimistic attitude lifted everyone she was with. Her first trip was within a week of being hired and it was to Hawaii!  Cindy was so excited!  It was the first of many wonderful travel memories I have of her.  She wasn’t just someone we worked with, she was a dear friend.  

Years of conversations showed me that Cindy’s greatest joy was her family.  She was so proud of her sons, daughter and grandchildren.  She loved talking about her whole family and sharing their accomplishments.  My deepest condolences go to Cindy’s beloved family.  She will always be with you in your hearts and memories.  You are her greatest legacy.  She was a bright, joyous light to everyone she came in contact with and will be deeply missed.  

We were cubicle buddies for quite a while and I loved it!!! You were always there to help me with whatever questions that I had, without hesitation.  Your beauty was both inside and out, and I loved all the stories you shared about the love for your family... Your beautiful smile and your laughter will always be part of my loving memories of you.  Rest in Peace Cindy and my condolences to your family. 

Cindy was so joyful, she had a great sense of humor and the best laugh.  She unselfishly shared her knowledge and was always ready to teach me how to do this or that.  It was pleasure to know and work with her.  Sincerest condolences to the family. RIP Cindy. 

I fondly think about the many years Cindy and I spent working together.  As a co-worker and friend, I always enjoyed having Cindy as a teammate on manpower studies.  Her work ethic, dedication, and knowledge always made for easier studies.  Cindy also possessed the ability to enjoy life's experiences no matter where our travels took us.  Trips were always more interesting and fun when Cindy was with us.  I can't think of Cindy without thinking about her love of family and all sports, especially softball.   Although Cindy left this earth far too soon, her gorgeous smile and infectious laughter will continue to live in those of us who were lucky to be her friend.  RIP Cindy.  My heartfelt condolences to her entire family.

I did not know Cindy as long as many of our co-workers in the manpower field, but I did have the pleasure of being one of Cindy's neighbors in "cubicle-land."  I remember always hearing the click, click of her mouse as she worked her magic on an Excel spreadsheet.  I was lucky enough to be one of the recipients of her vast knowledge of spreadsheet tips and tricks.   We spent a lot of time next to each other, but did not get a chance to do a manpower study together for quite some time, as she was not on the same team as I was.   When we finally did get a chance to do a study together, we went to none other than NAVMAG Pearl Harbor.  She was the Study Lead, and I was the junior analyst she was training.   We had a great time in Hawaii, and she actually took me around to the neighborhood she grew up in.   I will always remember Cindy's great sense of humor, and especially her laugh.  She teased me about the fact that it took me a while to get what her license plate meant:  Huh y n.  I will also always remember her great spiked hair and capri pants.  I will miss you, Cindy.  

My sincerest condolences to Cindy's family.  

Cindy was one of the best co-workers I had the pleasure of working with.  She was always helpful patient and caring in assisting you with projects or sharing her knowledge on a subject.  We shared stories of families, our challenges, passions about life and laughed a lot.  She was so competitive in sports and often pulled my leg on “ oh I haven’t done this or that since high school, I finally chose tennis and said to myself I finally got her.  We get on the court and she ran my butt all over the place and beat me too😀.   I will miss her infectious smile and easy going nature.  It was truly a blessing to have met Cindy on my life’s journey.  RIP CINDY.   My condolences to her beloved family.

I feel blessed to have know Cindy for almost 35 years.  We worked together at two different jobs working side-by-side on numerous projects and studies.  I always loved working with her because she was always willing to share her knowledge and never hesitated in spending the time necessary to show you the right way to do your job.  I have so many great memories of our many travels around the world conducting manpower studies.  I could always depend on her to join me on my marathon walks or adventures where ever we traveled or to be there for me if I needed help with my project.  To me, Cindy was more than just a colleague, she was a very close friend who was always there for me no matter how difficult the circumstances.  One of the things that always impressed me about Cindy was her love for her family.  There was no doubt that her family always came first just from listening to all the great stories she told me about her sons, daughter and husband.  I especially loved her sense of humor, she never hesitated in putting a smile of your face or making you laugh out loud.  I will deeply miss the sound of her laugh.  I have so many fond memories of her that I will cherish for the rest of my life.  After Cindy retired I somewhat lost touch with her but every now and then I would reach out to her just to say hello and it was always great just to hear her voice.  I feel so lucky that I was able to see her along with Ralph and Amor this past December just to catch up.  I will miss her deeply. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

Cindy was a great friend, I knew Cindy for more than 20 years, we worked in the same building but we didn’t know each other until we met in a class we took together, she said to me “I know I’ve seen you before” and I said “I work in this building you probably have seen me around the building.” Turns out her daughter and my daughter were in the same softball league and she had seen me at the games.   We became good friends we worked together for a while and I got another job though we kept in touch and later on we ended up working together again.  We all soon retired the same year and kept in touch, we would meet up for lunch or breakfast frequently, just last Wednesday I thought I need to call Cindy to plan our get together, I loved talking to Cindy.  I will miss her.  My condolences to the family.


Cindy and I worked together for a number of years which included business travel. Such a fun, sweet person to work, travel and socialize with.  We discovered that she grew up a mere block from my grandmother when we were both in grade school and jr. high.  She told me one time that she and her daughter were on their way to a  soccer match in the late 90's when they tried to get my attention on I-15 by laying on the horn.  I never heard their horn honking or knew anything about it until we saw each other at work the following Monday.  I assured her I wasn't ignoring her but that my van had great insulated windows and I'd have been in big trouble had she been an emergency vehicle trying to get by me. 
 I'm so sorry we didn't get to reconnect following my retirement.  I will miss her bright smile and fun personality.  May the Lord give her family peace of heart -- she was well loved!

I am so glad we were able to spend some quality time together at a BBQ/Bunco party for our high school class last summer.  Your smile and  beautiful spirit always brightened up a gathering.  We may not have seen each other very often, but I truly treasured every time we did get together. Rest In Peace my dear Cindy and May God Bless your family and bring them peace.

Cindy came to our class reunion Bunco party fundraiser at my house last June. It had been many years since we’d seen each other and I almost broke into tears,  seeing her took me back 45 years to high school. She was always so sweet. My heart is sad for all if her family members and those closest to her. 😢💔
