Cindy Kidd Obituary

Devoted daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend Cindy Kidd, 70, of Elk Grove passed away peacefully on March 28, 2025, with loved ones by her side. She was born June 15, 1954, in Sacramento to the late Loren and Joan Kidd.

Cindy was a lifelong Elk Grove resident, graduating from Elk Grove High in 1972, and contributed to the community her whole life.

Cindy valued two things above all else: family and friendship. She had a heart of gold, a generous spirit and a great sense of humor. If you were lucky enough to know Cindy, you were lucky enough to be in the presence of true kindness.

She worked in the financial and information technology fields for several years, recently retiring from the State of California. In her spare time, she enjoyed traveling and spending time with extended family.

Cindy is survived by her niece Christy, nephew Loren, sister-in-law Andrea, great-nephews Ian and Charlie, and great-niece Evelyn.

Per Cindy's request, no formal funeral service will take place. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Cindy's memory to the National Brain Tumor Society, a cause close to her heart.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I loved Cindy, she is forever woven into the fabric of my own life, and I will always miss her. She even tolerated my cooking, which took great courage on her part. I´m eternally grateful to Cindy, for being a true lifetime friend.

RIP my dear Cousin and sister I never had. So proud to be your blood relative all my 68 years. You were such a kind soul who saw the best in every one. I feel like our lives together were filled with so many great memories like going to Mel´s for hot fudge sundaes, the cabin, the Elk Grove Park for 4th of July and swim, the ranch, playing in the street and your front yard, long walks on beautiful nights with the family, pancakes waffles , eggs , bacon for breakfast and great steaks for dinner and so many other great memories.
Your strength and will to live battling brain cancer was so valiant. You put up such a fight.
Cindy I will never forget that beautiful smile and the planning we did for our yearly family reunions. Those were hilarious and so enjoyable times. Your snickerdoodle cookies unbelievable and definitely will be missed along with your famous fruit salads.
Cindy it´s so hard to say goodbye so I will say till we meet again.
RIP I love ya cuz/sis
