Cindy was raised in Weber County, Utah, and graduated from Weber High School in 1975. She worked at the Weber Memorial Hospital as a nursing aid. Cindy met her sweetheart at a young adult broom dance and got engaged on Halloween and married on Jan. 20, 1978 in the Salt Lake Utah Temple.
Cindy and Keith were blessed with six children and the opportunity of raising their family in seven different western states. Everywhere she lived, Cindy made lifetime friends. She showed her love and gave service to all she met. Her testimony and love of the Savior brought light to others around her.
