We are so sorry to her of sweet Cindy’s passing. She was such a delight and always had a smile on her face and a kind word. We met Cindy when we first visited my mom, Mari Ann Peterson, who is a resident at Golden Acres. Cindy loved both my mom and dad (Pete) and was always “looking out” for them, especially for Mom after Dad passed away 6 years ago. We live in Virginia so are only able to visit Mom in the summer, but we always looked forward to getting to see Cindy and give her lots of hugs. Our daughter, Ari, loved coloring with her and with Alta Winters and they were always so sweet to include her. We received many wonderful cards and letters from Cindy as well as some of her beautiful coloring pages and crafts that she made. We will miss her dearly and know that all who knew her will be missing her, too. We look forward to the day when we will see her again and she will be completely healed. Until then, please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers for comfort, healing, and peace. With love and prayers, Kylie, Don and Ari Hensley
So sorry to read this. Hugs to the Bichler family.
Condolences to all of Cindy’s family. She loved all of you very much and you were all the center of her life. She always looked forward to your visits & enjoyed all the card and board games you played with her! She will be missed.
I used to love spending time with Cindy when I worked at Golden Acres. She always had a smile or a joke to tell when I saw her. Her crafts were a huge help with things to share with the Children’s Hospital in Fargo for Easter and Christmas. She will be missed by all who knew her and enjoyed her company. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.
Cindy you were always full of spunk. We will miss your smile. Mom and Dad are in there glory to have you home with them. God Bless you sweet girl. 😋 🙏
Bless you Cindy. I’m sure your parents are so happy to have you home. Rest in Peace. Thinking of all the family. Remember seeing her in church over the years. You could teach us all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Cindy’s family. I was so shocked and saddened to hear about her death. I had just seen her on Ash Wednesday at the Home. Cindy was always ready for a conversation. God bless you all and peace to Cindy. Janice and Larry Lura
I knew Cindy very well. I did get her some gifts from WeFest when I went there. I’m gonna miss her very much she always had a heart of gold. She made gifts for me in return as well. My prayers go out to the family!
My deepest sympathy to Cindy’s family.
My condolences to the family of Cindy. She was a lovely person—warm, kind, caring, and cheerful. My mom’s years at Golden Acres were made brighter by Cindy’s friendship and many kindnesses. May good memories of her give you comfort in your sadness.
Saddened to read about Cindy’s passing but know she is now pain free. She was a neighbor, when I lived in the country and also when I moved to town. She always had a smile on her face. She was one of a kind. God bless her memory. Prayers and hugs to her family.
So sorry to hear of Cindy passing away. I have so many fun memories of her while i worked at Golden Acres, as well as the years following when visiting my Grandpa Joe there. Cindy was always full of smiles and wise cracks. She was a hoot to visit with! She always managed to get me to buy the crafts that she was making so she had some casino money. 🙂 She was a great lady.
So sorry for the loss of your loved one! Cindy and I played a lot of games together, and coloring together. Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers!
Thinking of all of Cindy’s family. Cindy was a very special lady and will be missed. The smile lit up any room that she was in.
Prayers from the Mickey and Vivian Whetham Family
Leanne, Mary Ellen, Larry, & Jim: just saw Cindy’s obituary; please accept my condolences and prayers. We all grew up in neighboring farms and shared many happy memories with your family. I always thought Cindy was such a brave little girl. Blessings to your families, Mary L. Endres Helt
