A native Houstonian, Cindy spent most of her life in Spring Branch. She earned a BA in Business Information Systems and worked for many years in Human Resources in the Texas Medical Center. She retired early to focus on serving the Intergroup Houston Association and sponsoring an Alateen group, which she was devoted to.
In 1999, Cindy met and married the love of her life, William Lappe (Bill), who preceded her in death in 2006. She was also preceded in death by her younger sister, Judith Ann Watson, in 1976.
Cindy is survived by her parents, Loy Dell and Jo Rita Kaltwasser; her sister, Deborah Majzoub and husband Fayez Majzoub; four nieces and a nephew; and her nieces’ children – all of whom she dearly loved. She also leaves behind a multitude of friends and cousins, many of whose lives were touched by her warmth, generosity, and wisdom.
