Cindy was a graduate of New Harmony High School class of 1965 and Lockyear's Business College in Evansville, Indiana.

Working first for Horizon Communications in Evansville, then relocating to Denver, Colorado when the company sold to TCI. She stayed with the company through successive sales to AT&T and then to Comcast.

Despite numerous medical hardships she never lost her spirit, inspiring all who knew her with her strength and determination.
