She was born on September 27, 1959, in Marshall, Minnesota, to Vern and Alina Gelling.

Throughout her life, Cindy held many different jobs, but the two she enjoyed the most were working as a CNA and owning and operating Skateland USAin Jamestown, North Dakota, with her husband, William. She loved all the children who came through the doors as if they were her own, and they loved her right back. The memories and friendships she made there remained very special to her.

Family was so important to Cindy. She treasured every moment spent with her loved ones and took great pride in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her family was the heart of her life, and the love she gave them will continue to live on through them.

Cindy will be deeply missed by her family and her two beloved dogs, Bonnie and Clyde; her children, Jennifer (Mike), William David III (Lindsey), Elizabeth (Mark), and Tiffany; her stepchildren, Brent and Mandy; her 20 grandchildren; and her 13 great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by her three sisters, Judy (Kevin), Joyce (Bob), and Carol (Steve), and many other family members and friends who loved her dearly.

Cindy is preceded in death by her parents, her husband William, her foster son, Jason Waagen, brother-in-law, Lee Nelson, and stepdad, Snooks Hauser.

A celebration of Cindy’s life will be held in the spring in Roseburg, Oregon, at Roseburg National Cemetery, where Cindy will be joining her husband again.
