Cynthia (Cindy) Bates Obituary
Cindy's passions were her rescue dogs, enjoying music and piano, cars and restoring them, baking, and her home and garden.
She joins her long-time companion Jeff Steiglemann, and beloved dogs Jake, Angus and Bella in passing.
Cindy is survived by her brothers Carl, Joel and Ken, her Nieces and Nephews, and her dog Remi. The family will plan a service at a later date.
Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Cindy and I worked together for years. We did lose touch a few years ago but I would think of her occassionally as I did today. She was a great person and a good friend.

Though I was not close to Cindy, she was my niece. Her mother and my mother, Mae Alice Vautier Perry (1921-2020) were sisters. My parents moved to Arkansas in the 40´s which created a distance that we never overcame to develop our family relationships. I´m so very sorry to learn of her cancer and passing. Our mothers were special, beautiful ladies.

We are so sorry. Cindy was a wonder neighbor. We always enjoyed talking with her when she was walking one of her rescue dogs. She was a beautiful person. Bill & Shirley (Krugel Street)
