Cynthia Esping Obituary
Cindy was born on August 16, 1954 to Louis and Nola Caron, the oldest of three children. She grew up on the family farm south of Marshall MN, graduating from Marshall Senior High in 1972. In August of 1972, Cindy was united in marriage to Ray Esping of Minneota, MN. Cindy and Ray were blessed with their one son, Michael.

Later, she worked at Schwan's Food Company. Cindy and Ray moved to Sioux Falls SD in 1995 where she finished her career at Wells Fargo prior to retiring in 2012 for health reasons.
Cindy loved spending time with family, friends, and her dog Lily. She had a great love of animals and volunteered often at the Sioux Falls Humane Society. She was an avid fan of Nascar, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Wild, the Olympics, and any other sports she could watch on TV.

So sorry to see Cindy's passing. I used to work with her at Wells Fargo and she was the sweetest lady that will be greatly missed. I remember her talking about her grand-dog that was Mike's Doberman Pinscher. I had a miniature one so we talked a lot about them. Such a beautiful lady inside and out, thinking about you all during this time.

I was so sad to get your call Mike. Even though I didn't know Cindy very long it was easy to see what a beautiful soul she had. We all enjoyed her at GSS-Scotland. She worked so hard to get back to her home. I am so glad her path crossed ours here in Scotland. With deepest sympathy.

I’m saddened to learn of Cindy’s passing. I remember many good times with her for we were in the same graduating class.
Find solace that Cindy is now a twinkling star in our heavens.
