Cindy Ogden Obituary
Cindy Marie Ogden, 71, of Adel Iowa, went to be home with the Lord on March 24th, 2025 at Unity Point Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.
Cindy was born on June 21, 1953, the daughter of Edward and Mary Lou (Risely) Laws, in Des Moines, Iowa. She was raised in the Des Moines area most of her life. Cindy spent her whole life studying the Word of the Lord and being a fierce believer in Christ.
Through tough times, she met the love of her life, Steve Ogden, and the two were married in Waterloo Iowa on April 22, 1978. Cindy and Steve spent many days together studying and worshiping the Lord , following His direction, which ultimately landed them in Adel for the last 8 years.

She and Steve shared many trials and tribulations over the years, but from the outside looking in, it was clear that they had a deep love for each other. This love fueled a passion for success and a drive for the Lord .
