Becky ZarlettiTo Tom, and Cindy’s family —- I didn’t know Cindy we’ll, but enjoyed seeing her photographs and her posts on Facebook. She knew my husband Larry from their years in law enforcement, she with the Kenosha Police Dept and Larry with the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Dept. She was one of the first to post a tribute to him on the Police Dept’s Facebook page when he passed away 7 years ago. Her words were so kind and heartfelt. I’m so sorry for your loss of this wonderful woman. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Becky Zarletti

Linda E ElsenOnly knew her a little while but loved her photos. I knew from cousin Claire Frederocksen how when her mom Lil died, Cindy was right there on the couch to give her support. A very kind lady who dearly loved her husband. Rest in Peace Cindy and thank you for all you left behind.
