Cindy is survived by her husband of 45 years, Randy, two children Dustin Keith and wife Lindsey, Shannon Fitzgerald and husband Joey; brother, Dale Sax, sister, Caren Corneliusen (husband John), five grandchildren, Brody, Gracy, Maisy, Grant and Lydia, and many nieces and nephews.

Dear Randy and family, I want to tell you how sad I am to learn of Cindy’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories of Cindy from our HS days and running into each other non stop at our kids sporting events., we’d pick up right where we left off like no time had passed. Time is a thief but Cindy remained more beautiful each time I saw her. Truly a brown eyed beauty inside and out. I know there are no true words that can give comfort to ease your pain right now but please know her wonderful memory will live on in so many that her life touched. Sending love and ( Hugs) to all of you, Lisa “Taylor”
