In addition to her most important job as mother to two daughters and more recently Grandma Cici, Cindy was a fitness instructor at the Glenville YMCA, then program coordinator for the Town of Glenville Senior Center from 1999 to 2012. Cindy's infectious enthusiasm endeared her to anyone she encountered.  She graduated from Schenectady County Community College in 1998 and attended classes at the University of Albany.
