Cindy grew up in North St. Louis County, Missouri. She earned her master’s degree in social work from St. Louis University and was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She spent much of her professional career helping troubled youth at Lakeside Center in St. Louis County. Upon her retirement, she took a position as a part-time case worker at H.E.R.O.E.S Cares, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting U.S. military veterans and their families. Cindy was a proud supporter of the U.S. military and all first responders.
Cindy was devoted to family and cherished by her many friends. She had a strong fondness for nostalgia, loved live music, and appreciated “cool” art and jewelry. Cindy enjoyed traveling with friends, often taking several trips a year. Cindy was a loving aunt to her nieces and nephews, created many lasting memories with them over the years, and was their biggest cheerleader. She was a problem-solver, a caregiver by nature, fiercely independent, and did things on her own terms. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
