Cynthia Cogbill Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 18, 2025.

Cynthia (Cindy) Kathleen Cogbill, 63, passed away from diabetes complications on Saturday, Jan. 11 while vacationing in Hawaii.

Cindy was born in Torrance, CA on March 9, 1961 to Joan Hindes. A California girl through and through, she spent her youth at the beach and swimming in the pool. Cindy graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, CA in 1979. Always an adventurous spirit, she moved to Greece in her early 20s. Cindy continued to explore throughout her life, traveling to Costa Rica, Europe, India and all over the US.

Cindy's life revolved around her children and community. She ran her own business, Puzzles and Books daycare, and was an active member of the Vacaville Rotary. When her four kids were young, Cindy handmade matching clothes and helped lead Scout camping trips. As they grew, she became greatly involved in the Vanden High School robotics team and was often found cheering her children on at marching band competitions and track meets. Cindy was overjoyed when she gave birth to her daughter and loved nothing more than hosting tea and make-your-own-pizza parties with her.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Mark, and her children, Jerad (wife Jackie, sons Emmett and Ferris), Alex, Derek, and Courtney. We like to think that she is now sipping a smoothie on a heavenly beach somewhere with her son Zachary and mom Joan.

Friends and community members are invited to mourn and celebrate her life at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan 25, at Calvary Baptist Church, 506 Cottonwood St. in Woodland, CA.

Cindy your warm smile, beautiful presence and fearless spirit will never be forgotten.
Trip to Seattle where you lavished visits with grandkids, on to Tennessee , Grand Ole Opry, no words to describe the fun.
A true free spirit, a life cut short,
Rest in peace my Dear friend.

I have a fascination with travel but would rather do it vicariously. When Cindy related her travels, I couldn´t retain most of it.
But I remember her saying that the fruit in Greece and the Middle East was fantastic. And in Muslim countries women not only had to ride in the sectioned back of the bus, but there was no cord to pull to signal they wanted to get off. You were expected to be travelling with a man who would do that in the front. Getting around by yourself was challenging.

My beautiful friend!!! I will miss you!! We all lost such a precious soul that had so much love to give!!! Cindy loved her kids and grandkids so very much, her worId her thoughts revolved around her kids. I don´t think in all the conversations we had she couldn´t talk enough about her children and how much she loved them. The one thing to know for her children is she is your Angel now. My family and I will miss you and pray for the family. Much love your friend Trisha E.

I was honored to spend some time with Cindy when we were invited to celebrate her good friend Pam Pritchard´s 60th birthday in Italy. We celebrated in Milano, San Pietro in Cariano, Verona and Garda. Cindy was a fun travel companion and a great friend to the Pritchard sisters, Pam and Tish.

I first met Cindy when her little sister, Erin ( May she also R.I.P.) was in Community Christian School with my daughter Lisa-Marie. She babysat for me when she was a teenager. We had lunch together when she came to town. The last time I saw her was when she and Valerie Hilke came to visit me. Her mother was a long time friend.
I will miss text messages that Cindy and I exchanged over the years. Rest In Peace Sweet Cindy.

Cindy and I did Scouting together and were both in the Owl Patrol during our Wood Badge course in 1996. Jerad was one of the scouts in the Travis AFB Troop 150. I knew all of the boys during the 90's. She was a great mom!
