Cynthia Rae Sveen

Its with broken hearts and cherished memories, our family announces the passing of Cindy, a beautiful wife, loving mother, grandmother, sister, friend and a beautiful soul who departed this life far too soon at the age of 65.

She was loved by her husband Rick, son Tyler (Lulu), son Nicholas (Kaley), grandchildren Addison, Avery, Lowell and Lennox, sister Deborah (John), brother Michael, brother Glynn (Jenny) and sister Susan.

Cindy was deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She graciously welcomed everyone into her home with warmth and kindness.

Cindy fought a nine year battle with cancer staying mostly positive. She stayed strong in not letting others know her pain.

She was so proud to be a grandmother. She loved and cherished every moment she spent with them. She loved cuddling and reading story books.

She was so proud of her husband’s accomplishments in the military that she became a member of the Guard Family Network and was recognized by her peers and received an award that was presented by Governor Pawlenty.

Cindy was a huge Vikings fan. She grew up watching them with her father. She had season tickets with her friend Judy and her family. She loved to always watch every game with Rick along with all other NFL games.

Cindy had a hobby of finding toys (mostly girls toys) and cleaning them up and selling them. Whenever she found special ones that she had as a kid, she would save them. She would always get so excited when she found more toys.

Cindy was not a person who wanted to dress up so she asked that those who wish to come celebrate her life to wear casual clothes.
