    I worked with Cindy for many years at OPS. She was always willing to listen, to lend a helping hand when needed, or to help brainstorm a solution for a problem. She will be missed.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Cindy from our college days at Kearney State College. We were in the same sorority and pledge class.. We attended many social events together and even hung out with each other while she taught in Alliance. I remember her kind, caring, and sincere spirit. I’m sure through her educational career she touched the lives of many. Her Gamma Phi Beta sisters were saddened to hear of her loss. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers and cherish the memories we shared with her.
