On Saturday, Jan. 6, 2024, Cindy, our much loved daughter, sister and aunt, passed away.
Cindy was born in Lewiston on April 19, 1962, to Preston and Fay Teed. She was raised in Greer in her early childhood years. The family moved to Orofino in 1973, where she graduated from high school in 1980.
Cindy attended North Idaho College in 1980 with a major in Art. After a year, she decided to attend Kinman Business College in Spokane to become a travel agent.
Cindy had many different job titles throughout the years: Schwan man, camper salesman, pizza delivery driver, apple picker, car sales, travel agent, real estate agent and golf courses. She was never afraid to try a new job to keep her busy. She worked at ATK for 13 years, until retiring in 2018. Although she had many jobs over the years, serving her country was her proudest by far.
In 1983 Cindy enlisted in the U.S. Army and served until 1989. Cindy was part of the intelligence program where she became a Russian Communications Interpreter. She was very proud of her service with the Army. She was stationed in Germany and Hawaii.
Throughout the years Cindy traveled to many places all over the world. She never passed up an opportunity for adventure. Although she loved Italy and Greece, Hawaii was by far her favorite place to go, as she lived there twice. She called Germany, Arizona, Seattle, Spokane, Hawaii and finally Lewiston her home at one point in her life.
Our adventures together were the best memories we shared with Cindy. She was the captain of our float trips, our tour guide in Seattle and Hawaii, and our teacher on the golf course, to name a few.
Cindy loved her fur babies like they were her children, but her love for her nieces and nephews was so very special. She was the best auntie ever. She also loved her family and friends unconditionally. Cindy cherished the time she had with each one of them.
Cindy is preceded in death by her dad, Preston; grandma and grandpa Gangewer, grandma and grandpa Teed; uncles: Gene Hobbs, Elwin Hutchins, and Tracy, Milo and Monty Teed; aunts: Shirley Teed and Lorraine Hutchins; cousins Travis Hobbs, Larry Teed and second-cousin Jackson Baldwin.
She is survived by her mother, Fay Teed; sister Laurie (Scott) Steiger (Brandon and Shelbie) and niece Taylor (Jared) Cooper; brother Mark (Cheryl) Teed; nieces Linzi (Mike), Michelle, Erin and Breanne; nephew Kyle (Katie); aunts: Nina Daniels (Mike), Lois Hobbs, Wanda Strong (Dave), Patsy Hamilton (Tom), Wendy and Marla Teed, Tammy Wells (Monte) and Laurinda Wise (Duane); uncles: Tom (Jim) and Kirk Gangewer (Rhonda); and many beloved great-nieces and nephews; and cousins.
A big thank you to her very special aunties, Lois, Nina and Wanda. Your love and support was so appreciated. Jon and Carrie, her dear friends, thank you for sticking by her side. The teams at Generations Senior Living and Advance Hospice, thank you for going above and beyond. We are forever grateful for all the love and support we received.
A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, in the Sternwheel Ballroom at the Holiday Inn, 700 Port Dr., Clarkston. Wear your best Hawaiian shirt in honor of Cindy.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Jackson’s Pay It Forward Foundation or Helping Hands Rescue. As Cindy would say “Aloha and Mahalo!”
