Her heart belonged to her husband of 43 years, Andrew “Andy” Bucher, with whom she first connected through a shared passion for softball — a sport she not only played but coached with enthusiasm in her younger years.She found her greatest joys in two places: the kitchen and the great outdoors. Cindy was an avid and gifted cook, spending countless hours preparing meals, watching cooking shows, and diving into the pages of her well-loved cookbook collection. Outside, she found peace among the birds — especially purple martins — and on the water, where spotting turtles always brought her happiness.A woman of deep faith, Cindy spent years studying the Bible each night. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is now in Heaven, hearing those cherished stories straight from Jesus Himself.

Cindy is preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Betty Bauerle; her father-in-law, Paul Bucher; and her brother-in-law, “Little” Paul Bucher.
