I worked with Cindy Swanson when she was a teenager at the Windmill Trucks top. She was 16, then and I was 17 teen. She was a waitress at the time and I was a short order cook. I was always in love with her , but to shy to ask her out, that was 50 years ago , and I knew her sister , Cheryl when she worked there. I didn’t know she passed. She was a beautiful person and funny to be around, God bless her.Jim Moses.

I’ve known Cindy for about 33 years. She was always kind and good hearted, the kind of person you wanted to be around. She always shared pictures of her holiday decorations which was very nice. I use to tease her about the Steelers and she would block me for awhile, after calming down she would unblock me. I going to miss those times. I’m going to miss her. Prayers to the family.
I am sorry loss praying for family that I am remember you working at Kroger benwood wv blessing her we miss you lot
I have known Cindy from her days of working at greens donuts and I worked with her at the ovmc she was always pleasant. And funny she also thought of the other person she will be missed by all who knew her
Cindy was one of those rare folks that was honest and hard working and her word meant something. I’m not quite sure exactly when I met Cindy, but I do know it was at Benwood Kroger. I worked there in the mid 90s and left the area for Columbus and moved back in 2006 and worked at Benwood again in the pharmacy and that was next to the deli. Had a lot of talks on breaks or chat as passing by departments. She was funny and sarcastic and gave wise advice.
The Steelers played the Packers in the super bowl and Cindy asked if I wanted to make a bet. Sure. It was a coffee from the machine at the end of the deli think 25 cents for a small 50 cents for a large. As soon as she saw me the following shift, I got a coffee.
My heart breaks for her family, especially her grandchildren as they won’t really get to know this wonderful woman and how much she enjoyed being their grandmother.
Cindy will certainly be missed. She was a good one.
