Cindy L. Francis was born on Jan. 13, 1960, in Britt, Iowa, a daughter of Harold Blumer and Marlys (Rafferty) Hyland. She received her education through the Mason City and Des Moines Public School systems. Cindy met Steve Francis in 1979 and they have been together for 25 years.

Cindy had several odd jobs throughout her life but her number one job was taking care of her family. She was an incredibly caring and loving person. Cindy loved to collect Hot Wheels with her husband. She also enjoyed spending time with her family, friends and animals. She loved working in her flower garden, "dock diving," fishing, and arts and crafts. She was a member of the Hot Wheels Club of Iowa.

And in February 2004, Cindy's wish of seeing the ocean became possible.
