Cindy and Steve were world travelers, as well as she thoroughly enjoyed taking any occasion to cook, decorate and entertain, always planning the next event for friends, family, or community. She loved welcoming many of her children’s friends into her home as if they were her own and lived her life with generosity, warmth, and exuberance.
