Cynthia Marie Bentley

Cynthia Marie Bentley, age 67, went home to be with her Heavenly Father on October 17th, 2022. Cindy met the love of her life, Bruce Bentley, at the age of 14 in Richland, Washington. They married as soon as they could after her 18th birthday and created a beautiful life together. They enjoyed spending time with their kids and grandkids, camping in the Pacific Northwest and exploring the Oregon coast. Cindy was a loving mom to their kids, staying home to raise them and manage the household. She taught them many things, including the value of hard work and persistence, how to make others feel welcome, and most of all the importance of family. Her greatest joy was creating a space in which the people she loved most could gather. Cindy was known for her fierce love, honest advice, and devotion to her family and friends. Cindy loved the Lord and we know that she is still watching over us. She was the best wife, mother and friend. Bruce, Dawn & Brian, Ryan & Lindy, along with her grandchildren; Avery, Aizlyn, Caden, and Lyvia will always remember her and thank God for the time we had together this side of Heaven. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.crawfordbowerstemple.com for the Bentley family.
