CINDY TATE Obituary

April 15, 1958 - Sept. 23, 2010

Cindy was born in Phoenix, AZ and passed away in Merced, CA.

She loved her home and was known as a great cook. She loved her family and was an absolute "sucker" for nieces, nephews, and kids in general.

She worked for several large trucking firms as HRD manager and billing representative.

Her mother, Mary Lamb of Merced, preceded her in death. She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Rex Tate; her father, Leo Lamb of Merced; her stepson Chris and his wife of Washington; stepdaughter Denise of Redding; sisters Tina Burnett of Huron, South Dakota and Evonne Parrino of Merced; brothers Mark, Christian, and Loren of Merced; her aunts, T.J. Fleming of Merced, Naomi Souza of Modesto and Ruth White of San Diego. In addition, nieces Amanda Mendonca and Danyel Decker of Iroquois, South Dakota, Sarah Parrino of Merced; nephews Philip, Michael, and Mark Ryan also survive. There are many grand nieces and nephews, plus cousins Kim Fleming and Doug Fleming of Bonney Lakes, Washington, Dana Fleming of Fremont, CA, Sheryl Durbin and Charlotte Souza of Modesto, and Pam Jefferies of Bend, Oregon.

Based on Cindy's request, there will be no formal service. A private family service will be held in the near future.

You look just like mama in this picture Sis. I can't believe you're really gone. Not a day has gone by that you weren't in my thoughts. I hope that you have found peace and that you're wrapped in the arms of our mother. God Bless you Rex and please let me know if there is anything I can do. Tina
