It is with deep love and gratitude that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Cindy, who passed away on September 26, 2025, surrounded by family.
Cindy was born in Duluth, Minnesota, and graduated from Hamlin University with a passion for education and lifelong learning. She had a special love for children and dedicated her life to teaching and supporting youth. She was a volunteer for the SMART reading program in Medford Schools for many years. She inspired not only her students but also her family with her love of books and learning.
In her younger years, she was an energetic aerobics instructor, bringing joy, movement, and enthusiasm to everyone around her. In her later years she discovered and developed artistic talents and created beautiful drawings of (you guessed it) the grandchildren! Cindy lived a life full of passion, creativity, and caring for others.
More than anything else, Cindy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She cherished time with her family and found joy in every moment spent with them. Her laughter was contagious.
She is survived by her husband, Estin; her children, Elisa and Dirk; her stepchildren Estin and Molly; her grandchildren: Dirk, J.T., Maria, Lucy, Harper, Carson, and Forrest; her great-grandchildren: Wylder, Ripley, and Ryatt; and her brothers, Drew and Rolf. Each of them carries forward her love, wisdom, and legacy.
She leaves behind a life marked by kindness, strength, intelligence, and unwavering love. Cindy touched many lives with her warmth, compassion, and her unforgettable laugh, which was loud, contagious, and filled with pure joy. Those who knew her will always remember the way it made them feel; happy, connected, and completely at ease.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered!
