Cindy White Obituary
November 13, 1966 - February 9, 2021
Cindy was born Cindy Sue Schmidt November 13, 1966 to Brady and Judy Schmidt in Westminster, California. Cindy was the youngest of their four children. Cindy was raised in Orange County, California and graduated from Orange High School.
Cindy worked for the school system in food service for many years. She loved serving the kids. Throughout the years, Cindy made her home in California, Arizona and Oklahoma. Cindy had just relocated back to Yuma, Arizona in December 2020.
Cindy leaves behind her three children: Matthew White - Boise, Idaho, Joshua (Ashley) White - Russellville, Arkansas, Victoria Lord - Yuma, Arizona; Cindy leaves behind three siblings: Ginger Schmidt - Yuma, Arizona, Brady (Erin) Schmidt - Westlake Village, California, John (Alyse) Schmidt - Hesperia, California; Cindy leaves behind six beautiful grandchildren whom she deeply loved and adored. They were the sparkle in her eyes: Audrina, Kamirin, Jaxson, Skarlette, Zakkery, and Oliver. Cindy also left behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, uncles, aunts, extended family, her longtime companion Troy Don Childress - Cookson, Oklahoma and many friends.
Cindy is preceded in death by her parents, Brady and Judy. Cindy mourned them so very much after their deaths the remainder of her life on earth. Her family takes comfort in knowing that they have been reunited.
Cindy will always be remembered for her energy that entered the room before her. She had a beautiful smile and the most infectious laugh. Cindy was a believer and had a great Love for Jesus. She loved the ocean, listening to music, singing, football, butterflies, dancing and road trips! It didn't matter where she was going, she was ready to go!
The memory of her that family and friends will never forget, was the Love she had for her family, her children and her grandbabies. To her boys Matt and Josh: SEGA!! As we say our final goodbyes we are reminded that when we lose someone we Love, we gain an angel we know. Cindy Sue, this separation is only temporary. Our souls will one day be reunited. Until then: WE LOVE YOU MORE!
No local services are planned. Following cremation, a private family gathering celebrating her life will take place in Newport Beach, California.

Cindy was ray of sunshine. A good friend and a wonderful coworker. She was a beautiful singer. I loved to hear her sing. She was always praising the Lord. She loved the Lord. Always wanted to do her part of the work she didn’t want to b a hindrance. She had a laugh that would cheer u up anytime. She said she wanted the Lord to send her a Boaz. He did. He came and picked her up February 9. I know she is in a better place now. Probably singing in the angel choir. But most of all she is praising her Lord and savior in heaven now just like she did here on earth. Love u my friend! Till we meet again. ❤

You are missed every day my sister. Every day. You are on my mind constantly throughout the days and during my sleepless nights. I feel your presence. "Every little thing is gonna be alright sister." I've told you that many times in your life. I will tell you this in the afterlife now.
I will miss you forever. Peace
