Cinde Schmidt Cates ~ 1971
Arrived ~ 12/11/1952
Departed ~ 3/1/2025

Lovingly reported by Steve Cates:
This is Steve Cates; I know word has spread of this catastrophic event. The month of February Cinde dealt with the double whammy of Covid and Flu. Then an aggressive esophageal procedure that had a poor outcome. I am certain this physical stress contributed to the factors of her heart failure. She failed to recover this time. Cinde cheated the grim reaper many times. This time the Lord stepped in and called her home. I know this loss will impact so many in our community. Few people failed to feel her embrace. May God’s grace bring us solace in this time of loss.
