Her smile & laugh will be missed by her Koocanusa Family - to all the Bucholtz family - so sorry for your loss.
My life was enriched by getting to know Cindy. We shared stories of our lives while driving in the car every morning for a year, as we drove to work. She talked about her children with great enthusiasm and love. She cherished her children and grandchildren. Cindy always had a smile on her face and was one of the most positive people I have every met. Ed and I are truly blessed to have had Cindy and Keith as our neighbors and friends. They will always be in our hearts. :) Arlene, Ed & Brittney Walroth
Dear Roxanne and Family, Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. We were lucky enough to visit with Keith & Cynthia in the summer of 2014. Had a great time with Keith during the visit with him. Took some photos before we left for a visit with Cynthia at the house. Enjoyed our time spent with your Mom. She was a special Lady. We offer our deepest sympathies to all.
I've know Cindy for many years from when Roxanne was I my first catechism class . Cindy was alway a grisly kind and lovely person and I must say the same for her lovely children. Rip Cindy enjoy the life with angels
My deepest sympathy. I had the pleasure of working with Cindy for many years at Shell. She had a way of getting things done always on time and always exactly how you needed it, even if you hadn't figured out how you needed it yet. She was usually one step ahead. We had some great laughs together and she always had great stories about the grandkids and many wonderful pictures of them that she shared. She was truly a wonderful person.
Cindy and Keith were a huge part of our lives. They are considered part of our family. Cindy loved her family and enjoyed entertaining. Her smile always lit up the room. We met Cindy and Keith when we first moved to Alberta and she welcomed us with open arms. We will miss our daily talks and texts and we know she is no longer in pain and with her true love Keith. We will miss you until we meet again. Always and forever Don and Joy Ziegler
Dear Roxanne (and family), it is with great sadness that I hear of your Mom's passing, and I would like to express my most sincere sympathy to you and your brothers for her loss. Cindy will remain in my heart as one of the nicest, genuine person I have had the pleasure of knowing. She was a treasure and her positive aura will be missed by all of us. I will always cherish my time working at Shell with your Mom; she may have been "petite" in stature, but she had a huge heart and presence at work. She made all our jobs so much easier. I am unable to attend the funeral service as I am currently in Creston, B.C., but I will be there with you in spirit. I will miss her dearly.
Derrick, Very sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Condolences and best wishes to you and your family. Don Medcalf
Aunty Tynnie had the best laugh; it was infectious. She tackled her life with incredible strength, poise & determination. I'm better because I knew her. Deepest condolences to my Western cousins.
Dear Roxanne and family, Our deepest condolences to all of you, praying for you to soon heal and find peace that your mom, Cynthia is finally at her resting place, free of pain, looking down at you with your dad by her side, with much love. Lots of love, Ger, Paul, Pavel and Giorgia Stancic
Nobody could light up a room with her smile and her natural twinkle like Cynthia. Our sincerest condolences to the whole family, no more pain, meds or doctors for Cyn. Reunited with Keith forever.
Roxanne & Family Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
