Cindy was loved by many. She was the kind of person who would give you her last dime even if she needed it more. She often went without to make sure others needs were met. She embraced everyone and everything with love and compassion. She felt other people’s misfortunes deeply and never judged their circumstances or how they got there. She related to others difficult times because she had been through many herself. Despite that, she maintained an upbeat, positive attitude. She loved people. She was friendly, warm, caring and giving, always striving to make life better for those around her. Her beautiful smile was welcoming and infectious. Those qualities will be remembered by everyone who cherished her. Her family was her whole world. Being a mother and a grandmother was her deepest love. She also considered her many coworkers at Bortz Healthcare/Villa her family and developed deep, meaningful friendships with them.
