Meyman
She was born July 15, 1956, in Albert Lea, the daughter of W. Manfred and Shirley (Martin) Jensen.
A special “thank you” is given to Mike Ryan, Cindy’s very special friend, who moved in to take care of her so she could spend this last year and six months in her own home.
As a baby, she lived by Freeborn and later moved by Hartland. Later the family moved to rural Ellendale.
Cindy attended grade school in Freeborn, Hartland, Geneva and Ellendale. After she graduated from Ellendale in 1974, she also graduated from Austin Junior College. She attended Mankato State after which she started working in Owatonna for Federated Insurance Company in June 1977, where she was still employed. On Feb. 6, 1982, Cindy was married to James Meyman at The Clarks Grove Baptist Church. They were later divorced.
She treasured family time with her two children: Robert and Rebecca Meyman. Whenever there was a “get-together” you could depend on Cindy bringing her “special recipe” of chocolate chip cookies.
Cindy loved to dance and because of that, she became acquainted with her very special friend, Mike Ryan.
She is survived by her mother, Shirley Jensen of Albert Lea; daughter, Rebecca Meyman, of Owatonna; son, Robert Meyman, of Fargo, N.D.; special friend, Mike Ryan, of Owatonna; and one grandson, Carson James Traut. She is also survived by one sister, Sue (Wayne) Vietze, of Clarks Grove; four brothers: Bruce Jensen of Albert Lea, Tom (Nancy) Jensen of Owatonna, Jeff (Lollie) Jensen of Blaine and Lyndon Jensen of Rose Creek; and nieces, nephews, cousins, and aunts and uncles.
She was preceded in death by her father; paternal grandparents: Wallace (Emyline) Jensen; and maternal grandparents: Ernest (Elizabeth) Martin, and an aunt, Jean Martin.
Visitation will be at Michaelson Funeral Home from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday at Trinity Lutheran Church with the Rev. John Lestock officiating. Interment will be in the Clarks Grove Baptist Cemetery in Clarks Grove
