Cindy was a great person to know. We didn't see each other much but when we did it was like we never lost touch. Sending prayers to her family. She will be missed by many. RIP Cindy

Cindy was an awesome person! She thought about everyone! She's the one who taught me how to make Blizzards and Dilly Bars. My favorite memory of her was in the winter time, she'd get a small cone and then she'd complain how cold she was afterwards. She was excited to meet my daughter, Samantha! She was one of the good ones and will definitely be missed by all of us at DQ.
