Cindy has been one of my Mom's dearest friends for almost as long as I can remember. The two of them used to take my boys on all kinds of adventures. My kids used to refer to her the popcorn lady because apparently she always had bags of popcorn for them!
Cindy had the kindest, most generous and gentle soul. I can't imagine her without a smile on her face.
Part of her charm was the way she loved her animals (all animals really) with all her heart. Once she and my Mom drove halfway across the state with me so I could adopt a rescue kitty.
Said kitty smelled so bad that the car ride home was eye watering. We laughed about that for years.
I have always considered her an extended part of the family. Her loss leaves a tear filled hole in my heart. I can't even imagine how devastated her own girls and grandchildren must be.

Seeing whales in the wild with you in Mexico and getting to touch them was one of my favorite adventures we shared. We drove across the desert with no roads and went through military checkpoints and you weren’t intimidated by any of it; you just wanted to see the whales.

I taught gifted children with Cindy when she moved to NC. We ate lunch together when we could work it out. I loved hearing her tales of her travels and her dogs. She was a strong kind friend.I’m shocked to hear of her passing and send my deepest condolences.

As a teacher at CAPS, I did my due diligence to scope out perspective kindergarten teachers for my first born. I remember sitting in the cafeteria listening to the kindergarten teachers talk about their classrooms at kindergarten round up night. Once I heard Cindy speak about the love she had for young children, I knew she would be the one for my daughter. Cindy started out as a teacher but ended up as my friend. She spoke her mind and believed in doing what was best for students even if it ruffled some feathers. She will be missed as much as she was loved.

in honor of Cynthia.

My first memories of grade school were filled with warmth and overwhelming love and kindness because of Ms. Mink. Her compassion and care is something no former student could ever possibly forget and her impact on lives extends further than she could ever know.

So sorry to hear of Cindy’s passing. We were friends during our time at Ball State, being neighbors in the dorm. We got into all sorts of mischief, even a late night trip to Indianapolis for White Castle burgers! May she Rest In Peace.
