Cindy graduated from Duchesne Academy, attended St. Edward's University and

found time to vacation at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Cindy’s love for

the YMCA of the Rockies began in 1956 on a family vacation. Cindy and her

family would vacation to the YMCA of the Rockies every 2 years following that

memorable trip. She and her husband Brad eventually moved to Estes Park full

time in 2018, after spending 18 summers in their cabin, which was built in 1897.

Cindy was the former President and owner of Ashford Memorial Travel. Through

Cindy’s adventures in travel she and her dear friends and coworkers Wendy and

Cathey would assist clients in building their traveling dreams around the world.

Cindy loved to volunteer and after selling her business she volunteered at the local

library, her children's schools, the Children's Hospital, and was a troop leader for

Girl Scout troop 16022. Once Cindy moved to Estes Park she volunteered at the

Estes Park Museum and the American Legion.
