Cindy loved her Ford Mustangs, her dogs, and an avid runner. Her favorite run was the annual Mud Run at the El Toro Marine Base. Cindy was a girl that didn't mind getting her hands dirty. She completed the difficult muddy obstacle course many times, often with her brother Jim, her sons, and their friends. This brought her immense enjoyment and satisfaction.

It always amazed me how keyed up she became watching an OU football game at the stadium or on TV. Cindy radiated warmth, confidence, and friendliness.
