She later married Timothy S. O'Brien, July 12, 2014 in Fremont. Tim was a loving companion and caregiver for Cindy. He has been right at her side, helping in any way that he could, to help make her illness more bearable. We will be ever grateful for Tim and what he did to help our dear mother. 
Cindy was an active member of the LDS Church, serving in many callings, but her favorite calling was that of serving as Relief Society President.
