Cynthia Westerberg

Cindy Westerberg, 62, passed away peacefully Friday, December 22, 2017 with her sons and sister by her side. Her battle of seven long years with cancer has ended. She fought hard and suffered but always with a beautiful smile on her face and a knock-knock joke ready to tell until the very end. Cindy was and is a true epitome of love. She loved people, her family, and especially children.
