Dear Family of Cindy, Cindy was a cherished friend and coworker at St. John's. She radiated the love and joy she felt for the Lord, her family and friends. We are sorry for the heartache you must feel and rejoice in the faith we share. With sincere sympathy, Dennis and Chris Dellinger

What a wonderful and caring woman Cindy was! We will remember her humbleness, kindness, gentleness and her love for our Lord. We certainly remember good times shared with her and her family. May God grant all her family his peace, love and comfort knowing Cindy is secure in His arms.

Will (Willie), Mae, Connie, Nancy, and extended family . . . we were saddened when we heard about the passing of dear Cindy! Always enjoyed running into her around town and oh how her face always brightened up when we would ask about Will . . . she was definitely his #1 fan! We thank God for her and for the many lives that she touched as a kindergarten teacher at St. John's. She planted many seeds in those little ones that she taught! We pray for strength for all of you as you hold firm to your faith and remember her forever in your hearts!

“'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' 'Blessed indeed,' says the Spirit, 'that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!'” (Revelation 14:13) Thanks be to God for His faithfulness to Cindy in Christ, which bore the fruit of her faithful ministry to students of St. John's School, her beloved family, and countless others. I count it a privilege to have served alongside her for a few years, and gratefully witnessed her work in the lives of our own children. I believe many adults today who once were her students learned from Cindy to follow Jesus, who gave His life for ours so can we can give ours for Him in others. To all whose lives have been touched by God through Cindy: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). "Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds" (Psalm 36:5).

We have fond memories of Cindy when our son and her son were roommates and teammates at Ohio University. She was a thoughtful and caring person. Our thoughts and prayers are with Willie and the rest of the family.

Thoughts and prayers to you all during this time! May the peace of God with you all!

Many found memories of Cindy, God’s presence was felt when around Cindy. Praying for comfort. Love, Dawn DeLong

I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy was a kind and caring soul, whose faith shone in all she did. Prayers for her family as they celebrate her life.

Cindy's love for children was only surpassed by her love for the Lord. Her selfless heart not only shined through all of her days at St. John's, but later in life as she sought to care for others. Hundreds and hundreds of young children and their families were shown the love of Jesus through Cindy. What a blessing to have her as a part of the ministry of St. John's Lutheran School. To Will and your family, Mae, Connie, Nancy and all, we offer our sincere sympathy, yet we celebrate God's faithful servant. God's peace and comfort to you in the days ahead.

Family of Cindy, We are so sorry for your loss of Cindy. What a pleasant person she was and we have many fond memories of working with Cindy for the boys athletic events. A very dedicated teacher and a special worker for the Lord. Dave & Kathy Picklesimer

We will remember Cindy as a lovely, gentle, caring person. She accomplished so much and yet was so humble. To her family remember God knew death would be difficult for those left behind so He gave us the blessings of memories. Cherish all memories until you meet again.

Peace and comfort to Cindy's family. We remember the fun times as our Son DJ had her in Kindergarten class. God's joy showed through her caring spirit and dedication to sharing God's love to our children. Our prayers are with you all.

Family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Although we lost touch over the years, I have many fond memories of Cindy as my sons’ teacher and good friend. Her dedication to her students, St. John’s and her family & friends was exceptional. She always had a smile on her face and greeted all warmly. My whole family extends our sympathy to Will and her extended family. She will remain in our hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cindy was a wonderful person and such a joy to be around. The world is a little less bright without her shining among us.

Cindy will always be remembered as our favorite kindergarten teacher and friend! Our sympathies to Willie, Mae, Connie, Nancy and families. Take comfort in the knowledge of the saving power of our Lord Jesus!

May God grant the Rausch Walker family comfort, strength and peace during this time of sorrow and loss. God's Blessings to all. Eugene & Ruth Ann Mayer

We are so sorry to hear of Cindy's passing. We have many fond memories of her being our boys' Kindergarten teacher. And, we remember how she was at Fairbanks soccer games, when we were both watching our boys play. God give you all his peace as you adjust to this loss. Love ever, John and Susie Gamble

I was glad to know Cindy. She struck me as one of the most dedicated mothers I have known, supporting Willie in every endeavor. She demonstrated dedication to the Lord through teaching, working at churches and devotion to her mother. Rest In Peace, Cindy.
