Cynthia 'Cindy' Louise Truppe

Cynthia “Cindy” Louise Truppe died peacefully in her home after losing her battle with lung cancer on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2017, in Newport, Wash., at the age of 55.

Cindy is survived by her four children, Kip and Mark Nordgaarden of Newport, Athina King of Spokane, Wash., and Kim Owens of Sand-point, Idaho; her seven grandchildren, Michael, Deona, Jacob, Nathan, Alyssa, Aidan, and Nolan; and her siblings, Jackie Kincaid, Bob Truppe, Rudy Truppe and Gene Truppe.

She is preceded in death by her parents, William and Marilyn; and her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Randy Bramblee.

She was born on Dec. 11, 1961, in Grayslake, Illinois, to her parents, William and Marilyn Truppe. A women like this, as well as any other, deserves more than words in a paper. If there is anything you should know, it’s that she had a heart of gold.

Although she’d be the first to tell you when you’re making a mistake, she’s the first to tell you how to get on track. A women so stubborn, fearless and fierce, you’d have a hard time forgetting her. A fighter, and one of the strongest women you’ll meet. She didn’t give up on anything. A sarcastic women, she never failed to make you laugh. Knowledgeable with a sweet tooth, like any grandmother.

But most importantly, she was loved. And forever will be.
